They are standing between indus- ‘try and that free flow of capital es- sential to industry's well-being. Not the Best Teachers Headed toward prison where he will remain for the remainder of his life unless he wins a parole, Gordon Alcorn, only 28 years old, called on the youth of the land to witness his plight and take warning. as a smooth road to wealth, Alcorn said: “Look into the future first. Try to see the terrible consequences and then avoid what I am facing now.” It was all true enough and it bears ‘out the story of “crime doesn’t pay” which all of us like to preach. Yet there is something inconclusive about it. Because it represents more sor- row at getting caught than regret for having done something essentially wrong, these words are not the best deterrents from a career of crime. That can be found only in the in- grained teaching of sound morality and fundamental citizenship which originates and has its being in the home and is supported by teachings in the schools and good example in public life. We cannot expect the wailings of captured criminals to be the most effective teachers of our young people.

A clinic affords the doctors who con-} duct it considerable liberty in adver-| tising which is still unethical for the! I don’t mean) honest advertising, such as a busi- ness firm buys. I mean publicity which a shrewd group can get free. The head of the nose and throat department of the best advertised clinic of them all reports in an offi- cial bulletin that there were 909 throat operations in the clinic in 1932, and explains that “more than 60 per cent of the patients who presented | themselves in the nose and throat department had had satisfactory ton- sil operations before they came to the clinic.” One wonders what brought them to the nose and throat department. “The number of tonsillectomies decreased considerably. There are many reasons for this. The prin- cipal one is that the tonsil ope- ration is being well done through- out the country.” This ought to make the piker pri- vate practitioners feel flattered. Then the chief pins back his ears and gets off some droll humor: “There is in use, although the method is fortunately on the wane, a method of electrocoagula- tion of the tonsil. There seems to be no logical basis for the method. It is as dangerous as surgical removal, and the discom- fort is extended over a long pe- riod. It is supposed to be blood- Jess, but apparently it is not blood- less. In the nose and throat sec- tion we have never observed a Patient whose tonsils have been entirely removed by electrocoagu- lation. . . .” H I have received hundreds of re- Ports from people throughout the country who have had experience on the receiving end of one method or the other.

But it’s another complication for NRA as it considers shortening its standard 40-hour week and realizes that it will be increasing average pro- duction per man when it does so.
