But everyone who wants a home, who is willing to struggle, work and save for it, and to take care of it after he gets it, is entitled to a fair opportunity to real- ize that ambition. ‘We will not have begun to solve our problems until everyone is ade- quately housed. The nation is a long way from that standard today, even though thousands of skilled building tradesmen still are idle and the in- dustries making construction mate- jTials could stand an increased busi- ness.

The Real Tragedy The super-optimists are wont to refer to “the late depression” as proof of their boundless hope for the future. More sober minded folk can hardly accept this dictum. They appreciate the fact that it will be a long time before the expression is fully war- ranted, even though there are ample evidences that we have come ® long way up from the bottom of dull despair in recent months. One sign of the changed psychol- ogical attitude of the people—and there are many—is the fact that they are again looking forward, rather than backward, and are turning their attention to the question of how to improve the situation. Naturally, much of this new outlook finds ex- pression in criticism, both of things as they are and of the methods adopt- ed to change them. To this extent criticism is an excellent sign, unless clearly inspired by selfish interest as distinguished from the common weal. Also, as things get moving again, ‘we realize anew the real tragedy of the situation which we brought upon ourselves back in 1929. This is the enormous waste of productive labor ‘which is represented by the idle men of the nation. Consider, for example, the way in ‘which our standards of living have depreciated. Home building was 80 badly stunted that it practically dis- appeared. People were forced to abandon habitable dwellings and seek shelter in almost anything that of- fered or which they could construct. How different it would be if the carpenters, masons, concrete workers and other artisans in this industry had been steadily employed. How many tenements would have been torn down, how many inadequate and Poorly-built houses would have been relegated to the status of garages. Consider such physical necessities as shoes. How many men, women and children would be poorly shod if the factories had been working stead- ily and the products of labor had been evenly distributed. ‘Think in terms of anything that a man needs or uses, whether necessity or luxury, and it is easy to see that the real tragedy lies in our failure to Produce rather than in over-produc- tion. Because of the perversity of human nature, the attack on this situation has had to be made in a rather un- Not All Loss ‘Those who protest that the farmer has received no good from the NRA might ponder a few cold facts—and nerhaps revise their opinion a little.

Plenty of oil or fat enables, one to keep warm if exposed to ex- tremely cold temperature. But that does not enter into the problem of keeping cool in hot weather. Prob- ably an excess of protein (such as lean meat, white of egg, cheese) in hot weather causes more discomfort from the heat than would a hearty con- sumption of fatty food. It has recently been recognized that the loss of salt from the body, in the sweat, both the visible and the con- stant invisible sweat, is an important factor in producing heat prostration, sunstroke or heat cramps. Persons exposed to the high degrees of heat on the southwestern deserts may not notice much sweating for the dryness of the air causes such rapid jevaporation, but invisible sweating is going on all the time, and is the prin- cipal way in which the body cools. | After a day on the desert it is not unusual to find that there has been @ loss of a gallon of water through D.

URGES ‘THIRD DEGREE’ BAN Attorney General Homer Cummings is ly behind the Department of Justice effort for a national law designed to abolish the police “third degree.” He abhors the practice. Cummings, as a state’s attorney in Connecticut years ago, created a na- tional sensation by asserting that it was as important for a prosecutor to protect the innocent as to convict the guilty. Scheduled to prosecute a man named Israel on a charge of murder- ing ® Bridgeport priest, he became convinced that Israel’s confession— obtained by third degree—was value- less. Thereupon, to everybody's as- tonishment, he asked and obtained Israel's discharge. JUST ‘SCARED MONEY’ Some of the administration fellows who have to do with the monetary Policy evolved s quaint method of laughing off the flight of hundreds of millions of American capital abroad. That's only “scared money,” any- way, they say, and wouldn’t have been put to any useful purpose if kept at home. CODE FOR SCAVENGERS ‘The “cinders, ashes, and scavenger industry” soon will be under a code. No one can justify these moves on the basis of sound economics and their sponsors do not attempt to do industry, up to this point lagging far behind others in activity, has in the past frequently helped lead the way to Tecovery. To a large extent last month’s im- Provement was due to an increase of contracts awarded by public agencies. Projects of this sort, many of them financed in whole or in part by the Federal Government, accounted for slightly more than three-fourths of the total—persuasive evidence that after the delays of last summer and early autumn the program of the Public Works Administration is mov- @ change is desirable, he seeks light on assertions that the law's strictness holds up desirable financing. ‘The fact that some New York banks have been sabotaging the act by dis- couraging flotations tends to convince the president that the present statute should be given a chance, some of his advisers think.

This loss of salt from the blood is nearly as important to make up as is the loss of water. If care is taken to keep the salt, supply greater than the salt loss there is far less likelihood of heat cramps, heat prostration or sunstroke. Moreover one who experiences much discomfort from heat or humidity or both will find that a plentiful supply of salt in or on his food prevents the discomfort.
