Some weight is lent to this report by the fact that Russia, once a great wheat exporting nation, now is prac- tically out of the export market. For several years the Soviet tightened its belt and sold wheat abroad in order to finance purchases of machinery and other goods.

C. Taylor are designed to help #zanan who needs a job but who has man- aged to keep off the poor relief lists. ‘These people have felt for some time that their interests were not being as actively conserved as those of persons who were less hesitant about asking for help. They have had reason to feel that way. ‘The first instance in which public charges were given the “break” was in the enlistment of the Civilian Con- servation Corps. The rules required that these young men come from povery-stricken families and the poor lists were used as a guide. That the Tule was not followed and that some favoritism was displayed in the selec- tion of candidates in this state is well known, Yet this does not disguise the fact that the rules were designed to eliminate those who had main- tained themselves, independent of charitable agencies. The matter was called forcibly to the attention of The Tribune at the time by a young man who yery much wanted to join the C. C. C. His bit- ter comment that “They rule me out just because I have kept plugging away and haven't asked for help” seemed fully justified. The government's activity in pro- viding work-relief, with grocery ord- ers as pay, seemed a move in the same direction. Those who were on the ragged edge, yet not asking for help, again felt that they were being neglected. But the worm 1s beginning to turn. Increased activity in industry and the decision to employ non-dependent. workers on the highway construction program bode well for these people. Taylor and his agents are going into action to assist this excellent class. The NRA was designed for their benefit and is operating to help them. ‘Their long period of waiting appears to be approaching an end. Fear Grips the Heart Not the least disturbing note in the current news is sounded from St. Louis and its environs where the best available medical skill has failed to halt an epidemic of sleeping sickness. If we look behind the dispatches we find a community which is very much afraid because it has no means of defending itself since no one knows where the disease will strike next. Science has made such advances in Teoent years that we have come to regard our physicians as competent to deal with any situation. The death rate from tuberculosis, once rightly branded the white plague, has stead- ily decreased. In most other sectors modern knowledge has triumphed over the forces 6f mortal disintegra- tion. Yet the competent physician and scientist is the first to challenge the theory that science knows all and can do all. Even a cursory examina- tion of the field will prove that the wisest man knows only an in- finitesimal part of the things there are to be known about the marvel- ous workings of the human body. This epidemic in St. Louis brings the fact home that here is a situation in which man’s best efforts have gone for naught. Cold fear grips many hearts as the malady spreads. It is a tribute to the selflessness of the medical profession as a whole, however, that doctors working on these cases have shown no sign of fear. Because the cause of the dis- ease is not known and there is no known cure for it after it has been contracted, the physician is as sus- ceptible as any other individual. Despite this there has been no ehirking. Every scientist asked to help ‘has done so willingly. Not one, apparently, but would walk down in- to the shadow of the valley in his ef- fort to bring comfort to those suf- fering from the disease and, perhaps, find a cure for it. It is @ fine thing that this is so. ‘Gpon such spirit is the true advance- ment of the race predicated.

The reason for failure to export grain this year, however, is not so well explained. Little has got past the Communist press censorship on that point. The theory of grain scarcity, how- ever, is substantially upheld by an how 100,000 children have been re- the Ukraine, North Caucasus and Mid-Volga regions. Their duties are to prevent grain thefts and retrieve any grain left in the fields by the harvesters. Special prizes are given children who denounce those not obeying the rules, hence Mischa Sorokin, nine, has a new set of text books and sta- tionery for denouncing his father as ® grain thief. What happened to Papa Sorokin is as obscure as Mischa’s need for the text books, but it is presumed that his punishment was heavy enough. Russia has never been known for withholding the The incident probably sheds as Much light on economic and social conditions in Russia as any single thing could.

They are published without to whether they agree or 4! with The Tribune's policies, HUNGRY Governmental Inconsistency (Washington Star) Part of Secretary Roper’s defense of the government's inconsistency in re- of personnel while urging industry to increase pay rolls and raise wages Tests on the point that— We are dealing in the depart- ments with a future continuing and permanent program, and un- der national recovery with a tem- Porary and emergency program. The continuing and permanent Program of the government, of course, is to keep its budget in balance as a necessary part of preserving national credit. But it is a highly debatable point how temporary will be the recovery program of the government. That. Program has already been hailed as the long-awaited revolution. Certain- ly it marks revolutionary changes in hitherto accepted concepts of the role of government, so much so that some doubt there can be any turning back. The deeper the government goes into its direct partnership with industry and agriculture, shouldering respon- sibility for wages and employment and guaranteed profits, the more solid will become the relationship and the less chance there is of severing it. And, as everybody knows, such a partnership only means a constantly increasing activity by an expanding army of federal employes. The sort of economy that is being practiced in Washington under the various economy expedients follows the traditional method of cutting costs that were part and parcel of the depression. It would have been entirely consistent for the govern- ment to practice, and to preach, the theory that the only way out of the depression was by the painful method of liquidation and adjustment to new levels. That was what business and industry generally had been doing before the beginning of the New Deal, and there were some who believed the bottom had been reached with the advent of the New Deal. ‘The inconsistency of the govern- ment policy today is that in some of its branches it’ is practicing with a vengeance, sometimes ruthless, the now discarded theory of deflating to low levels, but in others of its branch- es it is whooping it up for the new theory that the way to recovery lies in creating a higher level of prices and lifting ourselves to that level by spending money. It is impossible to pursue both theories at the same time and remain consistent. And it 4s an ironical truth that the only method by which some of the neces- sary and established functions of government are being maintained under the rigors of economy is to se- eure the necessary funds from that agency of the government which be- lleves in spending our way out of the depression. Some of the savings of agencies under the economy provi- sions have been more than offset by advances to the same agencies from the public works administration. The inconsistency of cutting Navy Yard workers over and above the 15 per cent salary slash while insist that contractors who build new ships Shall pay decent wages has already been laid before the president, who indicates that it will not be allowed to remain. And there are other in- consistencies of the same sort. One of the most glaring of these is the fact that while tried and experienced civil service career employes have been discharged, new employes are chosen to man the recovery machin- ery without testing their qualifica- tions under the merit system. Mr. Roper estimates a reduction in the regular establishments in the District of about 2,552 employes since June, 1932, most of it since last March. Other estimates have been much higher. At the same time one new agency of the government has hired about 1,800; another will probably take on 2,000. But of those who lost. their positions, less than a thousand have been given new ones. And the new agencies of government are not economy represented in a strict merit system—maintained for the taxpay- ers and not for the politicians. Gen.

A little while ago one of our cor- respondents got the conductor in Dutch with a lot of readers by send- ing in a bit of applause for the sug- gestion that the high schools should discard algebra and substitute aj course in anatomy. This well meaning correspondent said he had never been able to see the sense of running let- ters in with figures. I thought that was pretty good and quoted it here. It cost me several friends. For in- stance this one. i Iam a Biology teacher and de- vote a large portion of the time to Anatomy and Hygiene. . . . Oh, dear, that's just the trouble with the common schools. “Biology” taught for a term or two, and the} course includes dashes or sniffs of anatomy, physiology, hygiene, path- ology, bacteriology, a little about everything and nothing worth while about anything. . +. But I am also an Algebra, Physics and Chemistry teacher. If you are a doctor of any standing at all, just how did you Squeeze thru Chemistry, if you don’t know why you took Al- gebra? I confess I squeezed thru chemistry in high school and in college and never discovered that algebra had anything to do with it. To say an engineer could do his work without knowledge of Algebra shows clearly you know nothing about that kind of work. I have never said or imagined an engineer needs no knowledge of alge- bra. If he does, that is no reason why all high school pupils should study algebra. They are not all going to be engineers. If algebra is neces- sary for the student who intends to be a chemist, let him study algebra. Certainly it is not necessary for the chemistry a physician has to know. I enjoy reading your health articles and have encouraged my Biology pupils to read them but. shall do what I can to discourage them from reading anything you write if I see another article of this nature. Oh, but that won't be so easy, Teacher, now that you’ve gone and got the pupils into the habit. Down. with algebra in the high school, and let-us- have a proper course in Human Anatomy and Hu- man Physiology introduced into the high school curriculum in ifs place. Everybody, whether he is going to be an engineer or a trap drummer should have @ fair knowledge of how he is made and how his body ma- chinery works. Another correspondent takes me to task for asking what earthly use alge- bra has for Tom, Dick and Harry. This one says: My dear Doctor, algebra is only @ tool in mathematics, but it is just as essential to accountants, engineers,. chemists, architects, astronomers, etc., as a good knife is to a surgeon. Then.I suppose we should require every high school pupil to equip him- self or herself with a good knife, in case he or she decides to become a surgeon. Finally an Indiana high school prin- cipal writes: Algebra is not required for grad- uation from Indiana high schools. In that case, Three Cheers for Indi- ana, and may some of the more back- ward states emulate her in this step, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Fancy Sour Milk Could I buy acidophilus culture and put it in buttermilk to make my own acidophilus milk?

IN if NEW | YORK By PAUL HARRISON New York, Aug. 25.—In sprawling, tawdry Harlem there are more night clubs ‘than there are in Montmarte, more speakeasies than in Manhat- tan’s fabulous Fifties, more fried chicken than there is in Maryland, more jazz music than in Bedlam, and in the world.

These, with oils, ground bones and hairs, are prepared with impressive rituals, sold at impressive prices, and guaranteed to do great good or wreak awful evil, as desired. Some of them are Bring 'Em Back Powder, Sprinkling Powder, Black Cat Ankle Dust, Love Me Quick Powder, Boss Fix Powder, Sprinkling Powder No. 2 (male and female), Go Away Powder, Commander Oil Green, Rul- ing Hand Bone, Buzzard Wishbone Powder—and so on and on. An ounce of Keep ‘Em Powder; designed to hold & wavering lover, costs $5. Adam and Eve Powder, scattered around the house, keeps away thieves, lightning, fire, sickness, insects and perhaps un- welcome in-laws. Boss Fix Powder will keep @ boy from losing his job; and Boss Fix No. 2 (double strength) may be counted on to win a raise in wages. Go Away Powder ($10 the vial) will rid a maiden of unwelcome suitors, or rid one suitor of unwelcome competi- tion, Guffer Dust, sprinkled three times on a person, or even on his dog or his doorstep, will place him or her under the sprinkler’s spell. Ruling Hand Bone, ground from the skulls of fierce dogs, seems to lend assur- ance and courage to hen-pecked hus- bands. Only $3 will buy enough to wear in a little bag around the neck.

She hopes, however, that handsome Jack Laurence, a young camper whom she only met once— and the only man she ever wanted te kiss her—will rescue her from’ Blaine. When Jack fails to appear, she turns, in desperation, to Jim- mie Warren, her Aunt Pamela’s fascinating husband. They become infatuated and Pat breaks her en- gagement. Aunt Pam is suspicious but blames herself for warning Pat that love fades, inferring that her marriage te Jimmie had failed. Feeling that Pam no longer cares, Jimmie and Pat see no wrong in their “love”, Then Jack appears, but Pat tells him he is too late— the emotion he awakened, blos- somed to love under another's kiss.

There was then an understanding between them... . He had felt obliged to explain his restraint. Her dismayed heart throbbing painfully, she asked, “What will others think of your going?” “Oh, the girls understand, and the old people are used to their children living their own lives.” “I’m sorry; but I suppose you'll do as seems best to you, my dear,” Pamela said quietly. Patricia felt ungrateful and mis- erable. “Aunt Pam, you've given me such a wonderful party. I do feel grateful; but you don’t under- stand.” “I do, my dear. Don’t you think: you'd better dress?” Hesitating and unhappy, Patri- cia lingered a moment, trying to think of something farther to say. Warren came in and sat watch- ‘ing Pamela’s maid adjust her Marie Antoinette wig. “Pat wants to move back to the hotel. Do you think we should let| her?” Pamela said presently.
