Much it already has been built and com- Pletion of a few more links will mean that barges can take this inland route over @ long distance, thereby materially shortening the water route between New Orleans and many other cities of the south. It was a desire to promote this canal—and traffic for it—which inspired many southern Thus the northwest, which badly heeds cheaper transportation, was caught between the upper millstone of eastern selfishness and the nether millstone of southern desire for ad- vancement, Tt becomes more and more obvious that many political deals will have to be made by advocates of the sea- way before they can realize their aim. Xt appears that only by helping the south and the lower middiewest to ‘The southern route would serve us, too, but not with the same speed and efficiency which would result from operation of the St, Lawrence route. ‘Thus we have three potential ave- {nes to the sea, going north, east and south, The sad feature is that we seem unlikely to get any of them Human Nature Debased The depths towhich human beings ean descend is well illustrated by that murder orgy at Bremerton, Wash., in 50 | Score of places, Private Armies in U. S. Raymond Moley’s magazine, States on a systematic and nation- wide scale. According to this maga- zine, Nazi offshoots have been estab- lished in 19 American cities, recruits are being sworn in at the rate of 400 a week in New York City alone, and uniformed “storm troopers” are con- ducting regular drills in nearly a It is only this last point that seems especially disturbing. This is a free country, and if a man wishes to be- come a Nazi, that surely is his right —precisely as it is his right to be a Communist, a Democrat, a Repub- lican, or a Single Taxer. But it is hard to see why there is any place in the United States for these private armies on the European model. Overseas, those organizations in- variably lead to trouble. We can get along without them very nicely. Politics never took an odder or a sharper turn than it did in congress between the votes in the house on the president's veto of the independ- ent offices appropriation bill and on the new tariff measure, In the first instance, only a scant handful of Democrats remained to uphold the president. The congress- men indulged in revolt on a grand scale, and ominous prophecies were made about the decline of Mr. Roose- velt’s influence. But hardly 48 hours later these same insurrectionists were back at his side, putting through for him a measure of the very type on which congress could be expected to balk the most—a tariff bill putting in his hands powers which the house of rep- resentatives has always hitherto used. It looks very much as if the Demo- cratic majority were trying to say that it is and will be fanatically loyal —on all issues except one. The Issue in Figures The final battle on the bonus bill at this session of congress soon will open in the senate and observers see scant possibility of another upset of the administration control such as marked the vote on the veteran bene- fit proposal, Principles and policy will be the chief subjects for debate and so it is interesting to note here the fiscal aspects of the situation. The veterans administration esti- mates that 3,542,020 adjusted com- Pensation certificates are outstanding with a value of $3,497,618,679. Certi- ficates to the number of 173,839 and valued at $173,760,620 have been ma- tured by death. Loans totaling $1,- 590,499,184 have been made on 2,872,- 169 of the outstanding obligations. In addition, it is estimated that banks have loaned some $60,000,000 on 150,- 000 certificates. Examination of these figures dis- close the extent to which the cur- reticy would be inflated if the pro- posal for “greenback” payment of the nation’s debt to its soldiers were speeded up some 10 years as the advocates of this policy are urging. “To- day,” asserts in the current issue that Hitlerism has invaded the United cacrot I i C) Signed letters pertaining to personal self-addressed envelope is enclosed. Address Dr. William Brady, 189 KINDS OF SHOES | In 1932 there were no less than 189 trade brands of shoes marketed through the mystic power of the title; “Doctor.” That is, the makers of the shoes used the title “Doctor” as part of the name to distinguish their shoe from other makes. Some of the shoes that exploit the title of “Doctor” are all right. I'd) recommend them for everybody if the manufacturers would desist from this misleading promotion. The general run of shoes sold to- day far excels the footwear provided 10 or 20 years ago, so far as the health and hygiene factors are concerned. Even women and girls are getting a better break than their mothers ever had in shoes. I suppose the increas- ing participation of women in all kinds of healthful open air games, gymnasium work and the like brings some sanity in the selection of shoes. ‘The woman who plays golf, tennis, basketball, who likes hiking, bicycl- ing, bowling, skating, skiing, riding, fencing, archery or other sports, can- not participate in such activities with ballroom slippers and French heels on The prevention and cure of foot troubles is discussed in a monograph on Care of the Feet which any reader may have if he asks for it and in- closes a stamped envelope bearing his address, Here are some fundamental rules: Never put stiff shoes on a baby be- fore he has learned to walk.

Only ‘‘spring heels” or heelless shoes should be worn by young children. Never allow a girl in her ‘teens to wear heels more than an inch high. Even girls of college age should not put on high heels except for a few hours occasionally. Never permit a shoe salesman to sell you any form of arch prop, whether a separate gadget or ene built in the shoe, It is a mistake to begin wearing any such support except under the direction of your jan. Children in their early ‘teens often have “weak ankles,” or as doctors Say, pronated feet. The ankles turn in, and the feet look flat. Indeed this is a functional flattening of the arch and if arch props of any kind are put on the feet it may become Permanent flatfoot. The right treat- ment for this is proper footwear, or better no shoes, and temporary flex- ible or elastic support in some in- stances, but chiefly general nutrition- al overhauling, general measures pre- scribed by the physician to correct the poor nutrition, the anemia, the flabbiness, the odin deficiency, the. physical defect.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ry. Will it affect the child if an ex- pectant mother smokes and drinks? When I remonstrate with her she re- plies that doctors claim there are no bad effects. (G. N. B.) Answer—The consensus of scienti- fic opinion is that the use of alcohol | or tobacco by the expectant mother is likely to injure the child. As one practical fact, the mother with such! habits is seldom capable of nursing her baby successfully. Iron for Child Your little pamphlet “Blood and Health,” is fine. Our physician look- ed it over and told us we could rely on everything you say. The iron re- cipe you gave in it has done me a world of good. I'd like to give it to my eight-year-old son. Please tell me what dose would be right for him. (Mrs. R. G.) Answer—Half the adult dose. Glad to send a copy of the booklet to any reader who asks for it and incloses 10 cents and stamped envelope bear- ing his address. Par-Boiling Destroys Vitamin C Our class is having a debate on pasteurized milk. Please give me some facts on why it is not good for children. (W. M.) Answer—I should not say it isn’t good for children. Ordinary market milk as sold in towns or cities would be unsafe for children or any one else if it were not par-boiled (paste- urized) to kill the disease germs that. are likely to be in the milk. But this heating of the milk up to 145 de- grees F. for 20 to 30 minutes (which is called pasteurizing) destroys Vita- min C in milk, too. So if one can get pure milk, such as certified milk, that is always better for babies or children. (Copyright, 1934, John F.

ANOTHER GUESSING GAME Once upon a time there was a New Deal and one of the first, most im- Portant things it was going to do was assemble very accurate statistics on unemployment, The Hoover administration had so often fumbled and falsified those sta- tistics that everyone agreed a clean- up was in order. Miss Perkins was going to do it. would do it whether she did or not. More recently there was a plan to have the CWA workers conduct an unemployment census. Well, the American Federation of Labor's “estimates remain the best and the most commonly accepted— and no one knows how accurate they are. (They place.the unemployed at more than 11,000,000.) The A. F. of L. uses the Bureau of Labor Statistics index figures on employment for industry and trade— with the census figures of 1930 for comparison, the Department of Agri- culture's basic figures for farm em- ployment; the ICC’s figures on rail- road men and a certain degree of stabilization fund ss seems bound to go unless we create something | not, considering the way automobile magnates condemn the A.
