Closer to Millennium It seems that every time the doctors of the fountry meet they produce so much encourage- ment in the battle against disease that surely the millennium, at least in health, should ar- rive sooner than one might expect. At the very beginning of their session in (Atlantic City, for example, the doctors an- nounced such marvels as a “brain wash” that has cured paralysis and other human deformi- ties, and an antiseptic solution 10 times as Strong as the strongest in use today. Of course, it may take some time before either of these innovations can be included in the regular physician’s routine. Such an im- portant matter as technique must be worked but first.

Corridors were teeming. Men and women fighting for jobs with the new agency rubbed shoulders with industrialists anxious to find out what it was all about. Newspapermen were getting acquainted with General Johnson and “Robbie” and digesting the principles of this “holy crusade.” Don Richberg was starting out toward the precipice of fame and power from which he is now being pushed. ms Recalling that wild period, a correspondent pushed his way across Pennsylvania avenue, with its gaudy bunting, grandstands, blaring loud speakers, hot dog pa- vilions, and crowds of befezzed gentlemen here for the convention of the Mystic Shrine. Whole corridors were empty and most of the offices along them were also empty. Most employes were off franctically seeking jobs elsewhere in the New Deal. A few remained, bedeviled by fear that congress might yet chop off the Blue Eagle's head abruptly June 16 and by the incessant oompah-oompah without, eee LAST SORROWFUL ACTS Economist Leon Henderson was working on a plan through which observers could study effects of code abandonment throughout the country. Chief Counsel “Blackie” Smith was mapping a program requiring labor standards for government contracts. Richberg had been called to Capitol Hill to help on the last draft for continuing the devitalized NRA. Dr. Bill Thorp was putting finishing touches on a possibly final report from his advisory council. Emily Newell Blair of consumers’ advisory board was preparing a swan song statement to the effect that if more attention had been paid to consumers, NRA might still be a going concern, Sidney Hillman of the administrative board had popped in for but two hours since the Schechter decision, gathered his personal mail and departed in disgust at the failure to maintain codes, All doors were wide open now. Nobody sat outside waiting for interviews. Through the windows came the compah-oompah and through the doors came only this correspondent. eee ALL THEY ASKED WAS FUN The Shriners, who turned the capital upside down, what with parades, a taxi strike in their honor, and a ban on downtown parking, were unique in that they came here asking only a good time. Congress had voted $100,000 for their entertainment. But any group which comes here these days requesting no more than $100,000 becomes automatically eligible for a least, for some of our most tragic diseases and deformities may soon be fulfilled. Choice of Interest The uncut diamond as large as an ostrich egg that arrived in the United States the other day probably will be admired and safeguarded for gener&tions to come. Yet the story of the inconsequential prospector whose Kaffir slave stumbled upon it and: brought it to him seems to be more of a marvel than the diamond itself. For here was poverty and destitution suddenly be- come rich, @ man in his sixties, resigned to a pauper’s end after # long life of failure and despair, all at once handling more than $300,000 all his own. ‘The world has been following the adventures of that auper’s unusual discovery much more closely than the story of the finder himself. But wouldn’t you like to know what has happened to Jacobus Jonkher, the strug- gling prospector suddenly become wealthy, éven more than you would what happens to that piece of hard, life- less stone? Hope for the Graduates One of the more hopeful signs of recent months is the word that college graduates are having less trouble Getting jobs this spring than for several years. Almost every college reports more jobs available for Braduates, and several have actually had more requests than they had graduates. Any man who wants work and can’t get it is a walk- ing tragedy. But there has been an added touch of fragedy during the past five years in the ambitious youths who sacrificed and worked, whose parents sacri- ficed and worked, to put them through college, especially Preparing them to work—only to find that there was no work.

But now and then a court case pops up to prove that (his extreme care with obscure details is necessary. An example was furnished recently by an accident fo & longshoreman at Port Huron, Mich. This man was on a ship, helping to unload it, when he was struck by a swinging boom, a flying cable, or something, and kknocked off the deck onto the dock and injured. He sued the steamship line for compensation under ‘the longshoremen’s act; and the owners replied that he should sue under the Michigan compensation act, since he was hurt, not aboard ship, but when he hit the dock —on Michigan soil, under the jurisdiction of Michigan laws! When a seemingly simple case can develop a tech- nicality like that, it is evident that there is a sound rea- ton for the extreme complexity of legal language. An Old French Custom ‘The appearance on the high seas of the gigantic new diner Normandie, seeking to bring supremacy in Atlantic passenger transport back to the French flag, is a little reminder that French skill in building ships is a tradi- tion with a very ancient lineage. During the last century, it has been more or less faken for granted that the British were the world’s most skillful builders, British navy and merchant marine out- G@iassed all others; most of us assumed that it always had been that way. Yet as recently as the day of Nelson, French design- ers were far superior to those of England. The ships with which Nelson destroyed French sea power were Gctually inferior, in design and construction, to the French ships they defeated. ‘The appearance of the Normandie is simply a return bo the old days when French builders acknowledged no aster anywhere.

Eight thousand delegates have gone home with their faith restored and their determina- tion to work for a return to an American form of gov- ernment strengthened. The declaration of principles adopted, while making no pretense to being a complete platform for the party, laid down some fundamental principles upon which we think there should be pretty general agreement. It was centered on the declaration “that the maintenance of the independent sovereignties of the federal government and of the several states, as guaranteed by the constitu- tion, is vital to the maintenance of our American system. of government.” Sound currency, based on gold, the balancing of the budget and thrift in government were advocated. The Lowden attitude on the farm problem was adopted. Jus- tice was promised for the veterans, although the bonus was not mentioned. Advocates of progressive legislation ‘will not be disappointed. The indictment of the Roosevelt administration un- der the title “Declaration of Grievances,” adopted prior to the adoption of the declaration of principles, was sweeping and complete. The enthusiasm with which it ‘was received gave little hope to those Republicans who advocate pussyfooting and compromises. As for the ally and the conflict of Mr. Roose- velt’s policies with the constitution in particular, few persons will fail to ap- plaud—if they notice it—the trench- ant telegram sent by the president to his attorney-general on the subject of the prisoner parole system. It hit the nail right on the head. ** * In that telegram Mr. Roosevelt ac- curately sensed and vigorously ex- pressed the feeling of a great many people who had read with shocked indignation that both the confirmed criminals involved in the Weyer- haeuser kidnaping case had been pa- Toled by state boards of parole, judges and governors—one of them twice. The theory of the parole system is that it can be mercifully used to release, provisionally, prisoners with good records, incarcerated for the less serious crimes, and who can be rea- sonably expected to go straight. It ‘was never intended to give freedom to the incorrigibly vicious or provide op- 1 Famous Rus- hands to put “political pressure on the hungry and needy.” One by one the broken promises of the presi- | ° dent were set off against his performances, and the con- clusion reached that “time has come for every American to choose and to declare whether he gives allegiance to regimentation and collectivism or to American liberty and the constitution.” Prior to the conference much strife was predicted among those who had sympathy for the New Deal and |. those who believed it was all wrong. But there was very little. The enthusiasm which marked the proceedings throughout was an indication of the growing weakness of the Roosevelt personality and policies in the section which was so strong for him in 1932. Each of-the ten states represented in the conference cast its electoral vote for the Democratic ticket then. It is obvious that unless the Republican candidate in 1936 can recover a substantial number of them there is slight chance of his election. Most of these states in the past have been Re- Publican, and in 1932 they cast about 30 per cent of the total Republican vote in the country. The renaissance of the Republican spirit there will be encouraging to members of the party everywhere. The free expression of party sentiment in the agrar- fan states will be helpful to the national leaders in plan- ning the campaign next year. We hope conferences of & similar nature will be held in other sections of the country.

The pregnant fact is that often they are easier for the habitual criminal with outside gang connections than for the first offender, who has made one mis- take and would likely not make an- other if given a “break.” commit further criminal acts. * * # ‘The unfortunate fact is that it has not worked out according to theory. On the contrary, a perfectly amazing proportion of the murders, kidnap- ings, hold-ups and more violent and detestable crimes are committed by paroled prisoners. Students of the facts agree that the most depraved and desperate of the gang leaders and racketeers in the larger cities have at one time or another been released on paroles. Some of them have remark- able records of crimes, convictions, short terms of imprisonment and con- sistent paroles in state after state. Admittedly, the system has operated for the benefit of criminals in a way far from the intention of its sponsors. * * & The explanation lies in a combina- tion of soft-headed welfare workers, crooked criminal lawyers and venal Politicians. In some, states lucky enough to have a first-grade man as governor and parole commissioner or board is also first grade and the abuse of the system is kept at a minimum. In others, where the gubernatorial material is low grade, the parole au- thorities are purely political, the abuse is terrific and the danger to the community great. In such state: as soon as a man with gang affilia- tions is convicted his lawyer starts working for parole. A certain amount of attention is paid to the “build up”, so as to forestall inconvenient oppo: sition from the uplifters. Doctors’ certificates as to the failing health of the convict are procured. Staged per- formances of the starving wife, moth- er, and children are rehearsed. The Geep repentance of the prisoner is Portrayed. ** * Sometimes this heart-throb stuff can be entirely dispensed with and the lawyer gains his parole wholly through political pressure and a little money spent in the right place. Sometimes the synthetic pathos is an essential part of the game.

Your Personal Health | DOCTOR BRADY PRESENTS THE SUN A northern reader writes: \ I am 25 years old and work on a farm. As soon as warm weather comes in the spring I work without a shirt on. I take a little more sun each day until I get tanned to the waist and can go all day without burning. I take a dip each night. I feel great all summer and can work much easier. ee Dee ey nee ee Can I? Please give us your inion of working like I don't know whether it would be ept to be candid about it. The hatters are as mad as hatters whenever I intimate that it is healthful to go bare- headed all you can with comfort. The galoshers pry me loose if I insist that wetting of the feet does not cause any illness. The steenteen species of vacuum cleaners preserve silence while one species demands and obtains my execution for my opinion that one species is no more and no less hygienic than the others. However, it may be safe to get in a lick or two before the shirtists become . In general this is my opinion: The more anybody can go naked com- fortably the better for health. Of course I mean physical comfort, not anxiety about style, custom or the law. If one feels slightly cold or chilly when entirely or partly nude, yet not too cold for reasonable comfort, that is beneficial in itself, I believe, for it is stimulating and invigorating, in con- tradistinction to the effect of slight excess of clothing or body warmth, which as every intelligent person knows, is depressing and vitiating, soften- ing, weakening. Anybody who contemplates taking the sun or who must be exposed to sunlight, should go about it by gradually increasing stages, as this reader suggests. Lily white mollycoddies who have not had an introduction should make the first mee! very short—say five minutes basking in the noon- day rays the first day, ten minutes the second day, and so on, strictly clocked. Or in a more moderate sun and for one not utterly a stranger, there may ‘be two or three five-minute exposures the first day, morning, noon and { night or late afternoon, and more skin and more time day by day. The ideal always is to acquire more or less tan but to avoid sunburn. In any regular sun bathing it is well to protect the with dark goggles. Bad policy to try to read or use the eyes in the intense dazzle. If you prefer, a dark bandage may cover the eyes. It is also a bad policy to wear smoked or tinted glasses when one is out in the sun, unless there is ext glare from snow, sands, water or when driving against the late afternoon sun. Ordinarily it is better for health and comfort to let one’s eyes accustom themselves to normal exposure. ‘The youths and men who work and play in the sun as nearly naked as possible need not worry about the imaginary shrivelling of brains or other disasters from absorbing too much ultra-violet.

First thing you know, people would forget all about the riding business . . . they'd be +e cepting you. . .” She had gone too far, and she knew it. Red crept up in his lean cheeks; the slate-colored eyes spar- wled dangerously. “Not that it matters, of course, what all these dodoes think . . .” They were in the overstuffed comfort of the Moor living room, all fat red couches and taffeta pil- lows and stiff carved chairs, An ornate lamp shed an effulgent glow on Sally, who sat curled up, little girl fashion, in one corner of the deepest couch and played with Michael’s fingers. “Love me, darlin’?” He had to answer this question half a dozen times a day, for Sally had the in- stinct of possessiveness enormously developed. She needed to be re assured, Michael Heatheroe, with his engagement three weeks old, told himself over and over again that, of course, he loved the little thing. It would be less than de- cent to refuse her the affection she demanded. The night she had so surprisingly told her father that they were to be married, Michael had quite simply failed to find words to refute the statement. Any- how, in his code, this was one of the things you did not do... The lady was always right. Dimly, in the memory of his childhood, was one illuminated pic ture. His father, smiling gently at a fair-haired woman in a blue dress, His father’s voice, saying, “Always remember that, son. The lady is always right.” That must have been his mother.

She was seen every place with that doctor chap from the city. “They're both sticks,” Sally had said to Michael, cuddling against bis shoulder.

Michael surveyed her with a quissical air. “Sally, do you reak ize we've been over this ground at least three times before? And that you've said precisely the same thing?” . “Have we, sweets?

He knew it, and trom gallantry, masculine weakness— what you will—was unable to free himself from it. Sally's adoration was often very sweet to him; this he would not deny. But in the main he had the sen: sation of being a very large, very clumsy fly caught in a particular- "t—|ly sticky web. Many men, he re- minded himself, had married without being desperately in love with the women they married, He had been told this; he had read it in books. Often fine mar- riages were built on just such foundations. Sally was pretty, strong, healthy, generous. What more did he want? In his wildest dreams he could not expect any- thing more of a wife. Or could he? Wasn't there, somewhere, a spark waiting to be kindled? Hadn't dark blue eyes flashed a message to him more than once during this drowsy summer? Had he ever felt, for a single instant with Sally, one tenth of the pure emotion he had known those few instants he had held Katharine’s slender body in his arms? ‘Well, that had been a sort of madness. It was over now. The best way—the clearest way—was to take the path Sally had pointed out to him. She would be a true and faithful wife; they would, some day, have strong children. Sturdy little boys with Sally's opaque, dark eyes and her flash- ing smile. Why did he wince, in- wardly, at the thought? One day in early September he was returning from a solitary ride on the new dapple gray. The late evening was full of a soft and mellow light. Michael rode into his own door- Sally’s car was parked there. She was slumped over the wheel, with an azure circular spread out before her. she looked up and waved as he came past. “Look, Merveitous, what I've got!” Michael alighted and came over to stand by her. She was reap and seductively dressed, fragrant and bright-eyed.
