Congress Makes It Tough for Diplomats. see Washington, July 30.—Federal Public Works Project No. 634 isn’t getting much attention. But as it’s con- siderably more than just another public works job, per- haps it’s worth while to go into it a little. It’s at the White House. And it has caused the whole north grounds (the lawn facing Pennsylvania avenue that you usually see on the postcards) to be shut off from. auto traffic for the first time since President Wilson was ill. You don’t see much of this repair job from the street, for a discreet green-painted fence hides it except for the tops of concrete mixers and a few sticks of scaffolding. Behind that fence, however, are great goings-on. A pit-like excavation, boarded up, has been sunk beneath the famous portico and driveway. And into this will eventually go a modern kitchen plant that would be almost like that of a small hotel. Most of last winter was spent in modernizing and enlarging the business quarters of the White House. Now the domestic end gets its turn. The original White House cooking arrangements were the fireplaces with cranes: and spits typical of the period. Naturally they’ve been improved ever since, but never completely revamped as a unit. Now it's being done, and the president himself is going to get the kind of refrigeration units, gas and elec- tric stoves, work tables and electrical gadgets that the administration has been urging on the Tennessee hill- people. For another month, at least, puzzled tourists will be turned back as they try to drive through the White House “front yard.” No-trespassing signs and patient White House police keep them away from Project 634. Mrs. Roosevelt, who is here again after a short “‘off- the-record” stay at Campobello, is taking a personal in- terest in revamping the culinary arrangements of the White House. And meanwhile the family has to use the side doors. Twenty-eight states, including North Da- beat kota, have planning boards as a result of the new dispensation in American affairs, but if they are to get anywhere with their plans we need to have a still more extensive develop- ment of the trend which brought them into being. There is much to be said for public plan- ning. Conservatives as well as radicals have urged it for years, in one form or another. But setting up a system and making it work are two different things. The chief handicap to the North Dakota ef- fort is lack of funds. A good many of those who favored the idea apparently thought Uncle Sam was going to provide the money with which to make dreams come true. j That, obviously, is not the case. Our old friend with the chin whiskers and top hat is becoming progressively less and less generous. He will give his nephews a lift here and there —and a big one—but he no longer will foot the bill alone. The result is to balk the fine intentions with which our state planning board entered upon its work. The many projects which it has endorsed as worth while languish for lack of financial stimulant. Hope that many of these improvements will be made by the new WPA set-up seem unjustified. That organization must devote the lion’s share of its allotment to the payment of labor, cannot afford to go heavily into the purchase of materials. As it stands, then, the state planning board might as well be named the state dream asso- ciation. Its canvass has shown there is much important work to be done, many desirable im- provements to be made, but we are no nearer to getting them accomplished than we were be- fore the board was created, All signs point to the fact that the various enterprises will be held in abeyance unless—and until—the tax-| keep the peace. payers are willing to pay out more money for this purpese than they have in the past. Trouble for Germany ‘While the Hitler regime whips its followers into a frenzy at home, there are evidences that it is storing up trouble of an irreconcilable nature abroad. The protests made by other governments against the not treatment of Jews were feeble at best. The matter was wholly an internal one and other nations had no busi- ness to interfere. But Jewry throughout the world took no such at- titude. There is and has been active in America, ever since Jew-baiting started in the Reich, an organization | self? devoted to stimulating a boycott against German-made goods. “Made in Germany,” once @ trademark of qual- | States, ity, now is anathema to a large number of American buyers, consisting of Jews and their sympathizers. Now that Hitler has definitely taken the field against all organized religion other than his own neo-paganism, ft seems probable that the movement will spread. Jews| dure are inviting both Protestants and Catholics to adopt the same tactics and for the same reason. It is the only ‘way open to them of expressing their disapproval of German policy. The effect may be far-reaching. It seems inevitable that, as conditions grow worse and internal troubles in- crease—they are doing that now—the Hitler government will eventually fall. That time is being speeded by the diminution of Germany’s foreign trade, by the quiet but Persistent hostility of large blocs of people throughout the civilized world. Sleeping Under Blankets One of the advantages of North Dakota as an all- ‘season place to live is that during the normal summer there are only a few nights during which one does not welcome a blanket. It may grow hot in the daytime, for the sunshine here is as bright as can be found anywhere, but when the shadows have lengthened and night fells, cooling breezes spring up on the prairie and everyone sleeps in vomfort, safe from the “heat of the day.” During the drouth years this tradition was shattered. Instead of cooling winds we had hot blasts. All nature SLAVE TO HER JOB Secretary Perkins works for shorter hours for labor, but she works long hours doing it. She's asking that the air-cooling apparatus in her de- partment be kept going until 8 instead of 4 p. m. “My real work doesn’t really begin until 4,” she said. NORRIS NEVER WEAKENS Senator George Norris’ vitality at 74 amazes his friends. The night of the recent Huey Long filibuster, Norris stayed up all night, and showed up at his office soon after dawn for a day's work. He had neither been home nor changed his clothes. Got about an hour's snoozle in the senate cloakroom, and was chipper as you please. i . ‘HARDSHIP’ ON DIPLOMATS Innocent bystanders, members of the diplomatic corps have been caught in the prolonged session of con- gress. They usually duck out of town as soon as the hot weather comes slong. But they can’t leave while con- gress is in session and anything might break at any time. True, most of them have nothing to do, but they'd much rather do it at Newport or on the Maine coast. And who wouldn't? Incidentally, there’s nothing to the talk that so many members of congress are leaving town in spite of the session that there will soon be difficulty in rally- ing a quorum. It is true, however, that the “better half” of Wash- ington officilaldom has been sadly depleted by wives who 7 esi that hubbies could stay and sweat it out, but not ey.

We may or may not agree with them, E With Other DITORS America to Mind Its Own Affairs (Minneapolis Tribune) President Roosevelt's formula for American policy, if the difficulty between Italy and Ethiopia should result in war, is simplicity itself. As stated to a press con- ference on Friday, America will continue its policy of being the good neighbor and in every other respect will try to. mind its own business. That this sort of a policy meets with the approval of a large part of the people of this country must be readily apparent. ‘There is little in this policy, however, that can satisfy, those who feel that the United States should it ; i g it if the policy of tending strictly to our own affairs is to be carried out in all that it im- plies, we will have to leave the enforcement of world| peace to other hands. It is entirely possible that by leaving the policing of Europe to those nations more im- mediately concerned, and by doing nothing to interfere with their efforts at enforcement, we would be doing as much good as if we were to take sides in the dispute.

The boiler maker had suffered from re- x: current renal colic. whether he had experienced any attacks recently he said he was definitely thru with renal colic and added that if i i tilled water, and had free from a recurrence of kidney stone and renal colic. Dr. Ochsner then mentioned the case of # physician who for several years had passed from three renal calculi (kidney stones) annually. one to the patient on the rain water or distilled water treatment, which the valent nti ued for 29 years, never having another attack.

I became amused by your dogmatic statement about skin absorption. McGuigan’s Textbook of Pharmacology, p. 254 says of borax and boric acid: “It may be absorbed from the skin as can be shown by testing the urine.” (A. C. G., M. D.) Answer—McGuigan is as dogmatic as Brady about this. Testing the urine is no evidence of the way the substance has been absorbed; at least, not unless the experiment is properly controlled, that is, the subject pro- tected against inhaling the substance. Cheese Is cottage cheese acid food? (M. F. G.) Answer—No, it is neutral or slightly alkaline. (Copyright 1935, John F. Dille Co.)

But when she walked briskly across town and into the wide, bdluemarbled entrance of Lytsen’s there was nothing to spoil the daytime pictures. She was a little bewildered at the start. All the way to the huge store she bad been trying to plan what she would buy, and in what order. Too late she realized that in the quiet of her apartment she should bave made some sort of shopping list. But in the end she convinced herself that, after all, it would be twice as much tun to shop without the list. “Vl atart of with a bathing suit.” she told herself, “That's easy to buy—and then perhaps {'ll get {m the mood of taking full edvan- tage of Mr. Marsh’s generosity.” How much should she spend? That question worried ber s little, although she knew perfectly well that {t would have to be a goodly sum tndeed to stagger the prodigal Douglas Marsh. With her natural training {p' economy she could probably buy all che would need tor what Marsh would consider o very moderate amount of money. Still—they were awfully expensive at Lytsen's. “Nevertheless,” Jo assured her self as she walked into the busy store, “this is the place he chose!” She went at once to the beach wear department to look at the bathing suits, and almost imme diately her eye was attracted by a stunningly beautiful sult in white. “It's very daring,” the salesgiri said. ‘“They won't allow them at all beaches, But with your tigure and your blond hair you'd be dream in white.” Jo took it.
