A Tip for Bismarck | In the doings of rich men there sometimes | §s a tip for the common people. When millions were being made on the stock market, New York city had a tremendous boom in the construction of apartment houses for the wealthy. Famed Riverside drive blossomed out with a number of palatial structures to house the ultra rich. Apartments with 14 rooms and three baths were not at all uncommon. ehind the Scenes in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER @. 1) One Man Can Block Any Law by Conference System in Congress .. . Queer Things About Plan Revealed in Recent Session . .. Battle of Huddleston Provides Striking Example, eee Washington, Sept. 3.—It takes at least five men (from among the nine supreme court justices) to declare an act of congress unconstitutional. But congress itself can produce a situation wherein just one man can keep a law on which both houses have Passed from ever going into effect. That was one of the things discovered this year about the conference system under which house and senate undertake to iron out dif- ferences in the bills they've passed on the same subject. Other things became apparent as to the conference system. It was used, as never before, in the recent ses- sion as @ face-saving device. Anxious to get away from here, one house or the other frequently—to save time on debate—accepted this or that amendment with the assur- ance that it would be thrown out by the conference, whereupon senate or house could gracefully accept the conference report without stultifying itself. One of the last examples was the senate’s passage of the Borah amendment to the tax bill, removing tax exemption from future government securities, and the McCarran amendment, restoring free trading in silver— each time with tongue in cheek. The conferees knocked out both those amendments and there never was any doubt of it. see ONE MAN BLOCKS PATH But it seemed much more astonishing when one man, by single-handed effort, for weeks prevented final action on the controversial holding company bill. Congressman George Huddleston of Alabama, opposing his two Demo- cratic colleagues on the conference committee and siding with the two Republicans, held off the senate conferees in their effort to compromise on the “death sentence.” Huddleston stood in that position of power because @ majority of each conference delegation must agree be- fore the conferees can report back a compromise to the two houses. The significance in such a situation lies in the tre- mendous pressure to which a man in Huddleston’s posi- j tion is likely to be subjected. Lobbyists in the past have often worked on conferees, sometimes successfully. Huddleston stood with the enormous political pres- sure of the administration on one side and the terrific pressure of the power lobby om the other. There is no evidence that he felt either of these pressures or that the lobbyists had anything to do with his grim fight against the “death sentence.” But certainly it was an extremely unfair situation for a man to be in. eee SIX-BILLION-DOLLAR BLOW [ ; ardon Me—Are Yo. a rer ieee TT Looking for a Lion?” — Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

He argued that whatever the mechanism of hunger, the hae to eat is the result of hunger and the desire to stop eating is the result of the feeling of repletion or satiation, and abnormality of either of ‘these feelings may bring about gain or loss of body weight. Now with your kind permission O1’ Doc Brady will toss a silly notion into the symposium. The familiar picture of the overstuffed individual he ing and demanding immediate carbohydrate sustenance or having 8 spell of getting exceedingly peevish if the food is not promptly available, may be ex- plained as incapacity to mobilize or utilize (oxidize) the sugar of which the blood is full up to the ordinary or normal level or even over-saturated. Dr. E. Mellanby believes one of the functions of vitamin B is to assist in the oxidation of carbohydrates such as blood sugar. Dr. Harris shares this view. Dr. White found in laboratory tests that vitamin B lowers the blood sugar level. All these observations and conjectures coincide with the opinion of Drs, Abderhalden and Wertheimer that vitamin B is the oxidation catalyst concerned with the utilization of glycogen, blood sugar, carbohydrate. As our knowledge of nutrition increase from day to day, it does not seem quite so absurd as certain half-baked critics thought at first sight, to propose that lack of vitamins in the ordinary refined diet may have a good deal to do with the common nutritional diseases mentioned. Experience of physicians who think for themselves indicates that correction of this fault of modern diet may prove a great preventive measure against these common diseases. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Imaginary Breathing 6 Age 75. Have practiced Belly Breathing for some time. Occurred to me some lung cells never get air, so by reversing belly breathing I empty the dormant lung cells and give them fresh air. (B. O. J.) Answer—Belly Breathing is best way to give all lung cells fresh air. If you attempt to reverse it, you are going against nature, and probably breath- ing less efficiently.

The reason for developing this sys- tem was the high price of land. Even a mil- linaire couldn't afford a very big place in the bon ton section where land sold for thousands of dollars a front foot. All of which seems a long way from Bis- marck and its current housing problem, even though it is really only a short step after all. Few local folk are liable to go in for such sump- tuous quarters as are common on Gotham’s gold coast, but everyone must have a place to live and the system the millionaires used in getting apartments for themselves might easily be applied here. A good many of these buildings were co- ative ventures. That is, each man supplied ing the money for the entire structure and in Nyreed portion of its taxes and upkeep. low-8 system he owned his apartment just ee it were a house on land held in his Care. The building could not be sold with- Prconsent and he was secure in his tenure. th there was a clause that residents in the evuld not sell to “undesirables,” the re- rg owners being the judges of that point. " comparison with Bismarck arises from ct that most of the new houses being built | shis year are two-family affairs. The old- oned double house is disappearing, to be ure, but its place is being taken by the bunga- low in which the basement is used for residence purposes. Many of them are quite neat and comfortable, offering plenty of space for a small family. Individual householders have built such resi- ences with the idea of renting the “downstairs artment” to help them carry their household . It has been a perfectly natural devel- and one of interest since it is enabling no meet its still critical housing prob- ext logical development of this idea is| vo families to join in the ownership of such | Awelling, just as New York’s rich men joined the construction and ownership of apartment buildings. Many a family which could not: finance the home of its desire alone might join with another in exactly the same situation and | construct a home for the two of them. Such a proposal doubtless would cause many a legal headache before it could get started. The agreement and definition of respective! rights would have to be rather precise. Finan- cial agencies might balk when it was first pro- posed. But the fact remains that the soundest institution in the country today still is the American family. And what better insurance for a building venture could there be than to have two families interested? That Duck Census There are few better illustrations of the manner in which the general public looks to the federal government cn all kinds of projects—and assumes the government is responsible for such movements as they know little about —than is the case with the duck census now being com- pleted. The general assumption seems to have been that it is a federally inspired and directed enterprise and that | those taking part in it are on the government payroll. Many editors have taken occasion to condemn the gov- ernment for this activity, citing it as another instance of wanton waste of the taxpayers’ money. As a matter of fact, few of the persons who partici- pated in the duck’ census were on anyone’s payroll. The vast majority of men who trod the fields in the wildfow) enumeration were sportsmen who did it on their own dleston as much as a cigar. But congressmen have been venal at times. And you have only to recognize the pos- sibilities to realize why Senator Norris of Nebraska hates the conference system so bitterly and why he made the issue of the “third house” one of his chief points in his victorious fight for a one-house legislature in Nebraska. Congressman Eicher of Iowa, who led the floor fight for the “death sentence” so vigorously that he collapsed and has been ill ever since, charged that he “never sat with a man who more obviously and deliberately attempt- ed to make it impossible to carry on a constructive and conclusive discussion of a piece of legislation than Mr. Huddleston.” He spoke also of the Alabaman’s “conduct to date in the conference—an unyielding determination to make no concessions whatsoever—and to kill the whole bill.” Hopson, meanwhile, was testifying that he had re- cently been devoting his efforts to the end that there be no bill at all. eee GIVEN TOO GREAT POWER In the end, the house, which had been supporting Huddleston’s uncompromising stand, backed down on him after terrific pressure by the administration, and ordered him to accept a “compromise.” But this was very close to the end of the session and might easily not have come to pass. The facts do not damage anybody's impression of Huddleston as a vigorous independent who stood out hon- estly for his convictions coincided with the desires of the “power trust.” But they do show what a peculiar thing the confer- ence system is and how it can give one man enormous power and place him squarely on the spot.

Premier Laval has been giving the ques- tion his best thought. It has required a concentration of brain power, but Laval had every reason to push the old cells to the limit. He doesn’t want to offend Italy and he doesn’t want to offend Great Britain. He doesn’t want to start anything, and he’s afraid that if anything is stopped something will be started. For the last fort- night his prayer has been for good headwork. The men- tal struggle may have been crowned with success. When statesmanship has been chased up a tree the thing needed is a formula. A formula is something which operates by not operating. It does nothing while seeming to satisfy all the requirements for action. Laval’s formula is simple. It isn’t new, and that may be one of its merits. It has been tried before and it works. It is this: The Italian invasion of Ethiopia is not to be a war. It is to be understood by the civilized world that Ethiopia is not being attacked. One member of the League, Italy, is to make a call on another mem- ber, Ethiopia. The Italians are all dressed up and must have a place to go. Two or three hundred thousand of them, with an interesting mechanical display, will visit Haile Selassie, the king of kings, the lion of Judah. Their trunks will follow them. They are going in for a pro- longed visit. If they like the country they may adopt it. This was the Japanese formula in Manchuria, and the League has only to recall its experience in that con- nection to be guided in the present embarrassment. It is true that the League lost Japan, which took its hat and went home. Apparently there is to be no display of hurt feelings in the impending event. Italy no doubt will remain a member of the League, as will Ethiopia, the latter being under the protection of all guaranties mak- ing membership in the international peace foundation so desirable and beneficial to the smaller countries which otherwise might tempt the rapacity of their bigger brothers. In Addis Ababa the townspeople are being trained to rush and hide in the brush when they hear three cannon shots. That will be the signal that the Italian visitors are arriving by air and will be dropping their calling cards of high explosives. With three good jumps after the three cannon shots the most nimble of the Ethiopian townspeople may be able to hide out. They are not a timid people, but they show no signs of desiring this visitation. They have been doing their best to avoid it by appealing to the better sentiments of the civilized world, There's nothing in the portents to give them much hope. They are going to get a war and they are going to like it. The Laval formula will recognize Italy's visit as a colonizing enterprise and ail will be wel. The statesmon of Europe will go to lunch and over their wine reflect that it continues to be the best of worlds. After all, the bombs are dropping on a dark continent and not a white one.

Glance over the list of names on the official congressional roster, bracketed alongside the designation “Beginning of present service, Jan- uary 3, 1935.” The record of achieve- ment and success in projecting them- selves into the limelight of these “freshmen” is impressive. In the senate is Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania. Elected as the first Democratic senator from that state in something like 75 years, the port- ly, gray-haired Pennsylvanian not only is the recognized boss of pat-| ronage in Pennsylvania, but co-au-/| thor of the Guffey-Snyder coal bill, | one of the most far-reaching pro- posals considered in the present congress.
