Hewing a niche for themselves will be a great deal more difficult than was the case in other and better days. Boys and girls are advised by lawyers to stay out of the legal profession lest they starve to death. Doctors leave the same impression and so, also, do the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker and all of their friends in the commercial world. Young men and young women are too often given to understand that their future already lies behind them. This, of course, is the sheerest drivel and ‘would be funny were it not for the bad psycho- logical effect upon young audiences. It has a tendency to frighten the young graduate and cause loss of hope and ambition at a time when each one needs all of his powers to cope with a new situation. The fact of the matter is that there are just as many opportunities now as ever before and America, after a pe- riod of uncertainty, again is on the march and the only way out is upward. This means more to do and a greater call than ever before for skilled hands and trained minds. It means, in the long run, a better living and more of com- forts and of luxuries than ever before for every- one. What the world needs is vision and new than the young men and women now stepping forth into the world of business and the pro- fessions. They have much to learn, it is true, for school work presents only the foundation for a real education, but they have the same capacity for learning that their parents had and a great many advantages which their parents lacked. They need not fear that there is no room for them. There is room now, just as there always has been. In fact, they are much more in demand than older persons, as is proved by chind the Scenes | in Washington | | WITH RODNEY DUTCHER | +. Richberg’s Guessing Reputation Badly Dented. ene Washifgton, June 6—Prof. Felix Frankfurter of inside out. Few are better qualified to suggest to the administration how liberally it can afford to interpret the opinion which yanked the ice from under the New decision had Frankfurter’s advice been taken. So no insider was surprised when the professor, on summons, slipped through one of the many shielded en- trances into Roosevelt's offices at a time when the pres- ident was calling for advice. Frankfurter hadn't been around the White House for a long time. His visits began to drop off about 14 Months ago, when the president began deliberately to cater to the big business element, in the hope of obtain- ing its aid for recovery, A couple of other fellows were barging in and out of the White House at about the same time—General Hugh Johnson and NRA Chairman Donald Richberg. It was the same Johnson who now gallantly admits large responsibility for policies under which NRA gave the reins to the industries it was “controlling” and let the code authorities run wild—the state of affairs which made the supreme court maddest of all. And it was the same Richberg who had insisted on © | yushing the chicken case up to the court at # time when the Schechter boys would have been only too happy to compromise, who had offered to stake his legal reputation on a favorable verdict. An “I-told-you-so” chorus from the Brandeis-Frank- furter proteges in New Deal legal ranks has been ring- ing sourly in the ears of Mr. Richberg. arm CLOSEST TO BRANDEIS Frankfurter probably is closer to Brandeis than is any other human being. He is the justice’s chief inter- preter and disciple as well as an outstanding student of the court. He was intimately associated with the late Judge Holmes, as he is now with some other members of the court, Annually, for many years, he sent from Mis school prize pupils to become secretaries to Brandeis and Holmes. Frankfurter knows—as few realize—that justices can be emotional human beings, that they sometimes may act like prima donnas, that they even may become hysterical under pressures and responsibilities as great as the New Deal has thrust upon them. He knows that the court's intellectual somersaults and back flip-flops are such that no man can say a deci- sion of today will be that of two years ago or that of two years hence the same as today’s. He knows that the court in the Schechter decision left the administration some real loopholes—and also left itself in a position to insist, if it likes, that those loopholes aren’t holes at all. e's KNEW DEFEAT WOULD COME Frankfurter had known how violently Brandeis felt about such vast delegations of power as were conferred by NRA. He knew what a horrible thing the lumber code, involved in the Belcher case, would seem to Brandeis and some of his liberal associates on the bench. So he became partially responsible for the adminis- tration’s withdrawal from the Belcher case as its NRA test. He and his followers here then insisted that the Schechter case, with its far-fetched relation to inter- state commerce, gave the court an opening of harn-door size through which to walk over the New Deal's pros- trate form. Frankfurter felt there was no need of a test case decision, on which all might be lost, prior to expira- tion of NIRA on June 16, With no further guidance than that laid down by the supreme court in the oil code case, he and his clan would have had NIRA rewritten in an effort to meet the court’s obvious views as to del- egation of power and gone on under the new act for @ while. eee CLAMOR FORCES HAND But there was widespread demand for a supreme court decision before congress extended NRA. Rich- berg and the NRA lawyers, sharing with Johnson—and apparently with Roosevelt—the idea that the court wouldn’t molest their holy bird, insisted on shoving the Schechter case right into the debacle. Although Mr. Richberg is ® most unhappy man and there are many who think Dr. Frankfurter shows up brilliantly in the light of events, the Richberg adher- ents are muttering in reply that if Dr. Frankfurter's advice hadn't been accepted NRA would have been test- ed long ago and time obtained to work out a new law carefully.

Politics By FRANK R. KENT ! Copyright, 1935, by The Baltimore Sun THE ISSUE IS CLEAR Washington, June 3. It isn’t always easy to forecast the popular reaction in a nation of 130,- 000,000 people. Sometimes the most acute politicians wholly miss their guess. The response to Mr. Roosevelt's effort to incite hostility toward the supreme court seems to indicate that he has missed his. ze * The fact is that disapproval 1s voiced by many friendly newspapers and some of his strongest supporters deplore that outburst of bitterness at the press conference. The widespread unfavorable comment may promote a second and more sober thought. The chances are it will, but if he moves definitely in the direction he is now pointed, Mr. Roosevelt will not only simplify the 1936 issue, but he may bring about his own defeat, despite the great political assets of a $4,000,- 000,000 campaign fund and the biggest federal machine in history. This is the feeling among some of the more thoughtful members of his own party, some within his administration. * * As these see it, the supreme court decision left Mr. Roosevelt two alter- natives. He could have accepted the verdict in a sporting spirit, declared that the NRA was an emergency measure, that it had achieved great — YOU HAVE YET A TO LEARN —. you ARE GOING OUT INTO A WORLD OF AFFAIRS ANID YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT's ALL ABOUT.

REST OF US KNOWS ALL ABOUT EITHER lish their schemes that the court would not dare upset them. .* & In this they were wrong and now, unless cooler counsels prevail, the issue will be in the open and well de- fined, which is a very good thing in- deed. At bottom this country is strong- |ly, conservative and law abiding. Mr. Roosevelt's real strength, now the acuteness of the emergency is past, lies in keeping the voters opposed to his policies divided by the old party labels. Such an issue as he has now raised would have three effects—first, it would force him more to the Left, reduce the chances of a radical third party, and give him support of every element anxious to overthrow our sys- tem. Logically, on this issue he should have the support of the Communists. Second, it will tend to increase and intensify the conservative opposition to his election, loosen the hold of the party label on anti-New Deal Dem- ocrats, * * * Third, it will strengthen the move- ment toward a coalition conservative ticket such as now advocated by men like ex-Governor Pattangall of Maine on one side, and ex-Senator David Reed of Pennsylvina on the other. Despite the practical obstacles and the opposition of a certain type of politicians, there is a strong and growing sentiment for such a coali- tion. The number of people who want it is amazingly high. Take it all in all, and, heavy as is the weight behind him, it is conceivable that, it he plunges ahead, Mr. Roosevelt will be beaten on this issue. In that event it would not be the supreme court that destroyed him; he would have engineered his own destruction. good, had promoted the general wel- fare and taught valuable lessons. However, he could have said, the un- animity of the court's decision left no choice save to salvage what was pos- sible, adjust the New Deal to the constitution, makes pending legisla- tion meet the court requirements, and do the best he could. This is a law- abiding country in which the supreme York Times, Mr. Edwin L, James says this: “With a gold backing of around 80 per cent, the highest in any Euro- Pean countty, it would seem logical that the French would have no trouble in keeping up the gold content of the franc. But the problem is not merely a technical one. It is not the financial end of the problem which makes the difficulties; it is the economic end. If all Frenchmen wished the franc to stand at its present level, the situation would be much more simple than it is. But @ good many-Frenchmen want the franc devalued. In number they are perhaps relatively small, but they have more influence than their numbers might indicate.” In explanation of this angle, he says that there are Frenchmen who feel the country would be better off be- cause of the increase which devaluation would bring in the way of tourist travel by reason of other depreciated currencies which are drawing tourists elsewhere; that exporters are thinking somewhat in terms of devaluation because they now have to cope with the high gold pro- duction costs of their country; that certain influential French bankers appear to see an advantage to be had by showing the course of Great Britain and the United 8. The question is whether it is better or worse for the French to cut the value of the franc. . The groups which have been leaning toward. devaluation are strong, but the masses are, in the main, in favor of holding up the franc. Mr. James contends that “the best students agree that while any French government would face a tremendous political problem in reducing the gold content of the franc and thus incur the wrath of many rentiers of the country, yet it is held that if such a step could be pre- sented to the French people as part of a general world stabilization of monies, it could be made to look differ- ent. But, without being able to give any such assurance, crisis continues.

To such an attitude there is reason to believe the people would have warmed. It was the straightforward stand to take. * * Ox But Mr. Roosevelt, though strongly advised by at least one real friend to do exactly that, chose the other al- ternative. This was to construe the court’s decision as a personal “chal- lenge,” to exaggerate the meaning of the opinion, to insist that the “fight” must be kept up, to instill fear and Promote discontent by a highly, colored picture of the probable consequences, well calculated to stir popular resent- ment.

Now let us get the authorities out of the way and I'll chatter ‘away as just Ol’ Doc Brady. Recall, if your memory is not failing, what we pointed out earlier— first, that arteriosclerosis is a NUTRITIONAL condition, second that it BEGINS IN THE INTIMA or lining of the blood vessels, and third that in nearly all cases of cardiovascular degeneration there is a period of hyperten- sion (elevated blood pressure) which precedes the fully developed symptoms of arteriosclerosis. Now, then, jot this down in your little book: A smoke elevates the blood more certainly than any other drug except adrenin itself, and the preaste temains high for a considerable period. Mainly on this physiological observation I base my belief that abuse of tobacco is a cause of arterios- clerosis, cardiovascular degeneration, premature senility. I am quite fond of tobacco. I know that one derives far greater enjoy- ment from it if he uses it temperately than he can possibly get from abuse of tobacco, What constitutes excess or abuse perhaps varies with circum- stances. For most of us, any indulgence at all in the course of the day’s work or play is excessive, in my opinion. Tobacco is least injurious and most enjoyable in the after-dinner hour of relaxation when the day is over. I am speaking of adults. I believe tobacco is invariably injurious to chil- ,| dren, and in the sense of physiological development we are all children until we attain the age of 22 to 25 years. whether the tobacco is used in the form of cigarette, cigar, pipe, chewing or snuff, So far as I know, it is immaterial Hard work or overwork has been held responsible for premature decline or waning vitality in some instances. I believe the excesses and poisonings already mentioned are the real factors in such cases. Worry, stress, anxiety, fear, hatred, envy, jealousy and anger may indeed, be hard on the arteries, for these emotions cause an outpouring of excessive adrenin from the adrenal glands into the blood stream, and adrenin raises the blood pressure. With any such emotion there is repression or suppres- sion of the impulse to overt action, and that is why it does harm. The adrenin speeds up all the vital functions, and the effect is comparable with racing an automobile engine or throwing a belt off the flywheel. The excitement of the spectator at a football or baseball game has a similar effect. It is the spectator’s arteries, not the player's, that must bear the brunt. It is in the grandstand that the gravest casualties occur. Action, ex- ercise, muscular work of one kind or another is the antidote for the poison of these emotions. Do something. at least go into a dance or chin yourself or run upstairs or take a walk or move the piano. Give your arteries a break. Don't just sit there and take it. If you can't fight or run away, you can QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Focal Infection Wife has had chronic pain right side last six months, also in stomach Her tonsils do not know, but to my mind it would seem more likely that are the seat of the focal infection and the other troubles are Why not have the focus of infection in the tonsils cleared up by diathermy and see whether improvement does not follow?
