Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Member of The Associated Press | Encouragement Despite the unsatisfactory situation created by the supreme court’s decision on the AAA, real encouragement came out of Washington Tuesday if one looked beneath the surface for it. It is true that there was no indication of what will be done, not even definite assurance that the debt the government already owes the farmers on 1935 adjustment contracts will be paid. In the case of Burleigh county, with $120,000 hanging in the balance, that is a real worry. The same thing is true of other agricultural districts. It is a matter of as much concern to city folks who depend on farm trade as to the farmers them- selves. | But, even though the supreme court turned thumbs down on the first great effort to give the farmer a square deal, there ‘was encouragement in the fact that congress immediately has set to work to find new measures to maintain the equilibrium which the AAA has established. AND BOTH PARTIES ARE INTERESTED. For example, Representative Snell of New York, the Re- publican leader in the house, sees an opportunity for the Repub- licans to submit a plan which will be satisfactory. To be sure he qualified his remarks with the phrase “within the constitu- tion,” but that may be termed political eyewash. He, with other Republicans, may be pressing for a constitutional amendment if it appears that such a step is the only alternative to con- tinued farm poverty, continued application of the processes by which the interior of America has been deprived of its birth- right. As a matter of principle the business of giving the farmer & square deal should be above party political considerations but the fact that it is not may, in the end, operate to give the farmer a break in this crisis. What we may see now is the spectacle of both parties com- peting anew for the farmer’s favor. ‘The general assumption in the last few years has been that he was pretty well pledged to the Democrats, but the supreme ourt decision reopens the whole matter and gives the Repub- £ a new chance. Politically, it gives them a much better opportunity to carry the west than they were considered to have with the AAA in operation. All the agricultural west need do to obtain action is to make it plain that the party which best serves its interests will get its support. Meanwhile, the policy which President Roosevelt. expects to follow is quite apparent. ' He has said nothing and will say nothing until he—and congress—HEARS FROM THE COUNTRY AT LARGE, If the people intend to make a fetish of the supreme court, as some would have them do, he wants to know it. If the farm- ers want freedom from that “regimentation” which has caused big city dwellers such concern in the last two years, he wants to know that, too. But if they want action which will do for the farmer what the tariff does for industry, he would like to know it. If the latter attitude seems dominant it is quite possible Behind Scenes | Washington Visiting Girl Scribes Find Mrs. Moosevelt 1s Yaminar With All the Gadgets and Acquainted With All the Servants. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 8.—Your corres- pondent has been out among the | ladies and thus has picked up certain items which could hardly have come to him had he been playing around poolrooms and other haunts of the male. One of the most exciting of these bits of news is the fact that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt can find her way around her own kitchen. Some of the girls who attend Mrs. Roosevelt's press conferences give their sworn word that she showed them through the new White House kitchen and demonstrated an aston- ishing familiarity with all gadgets, fixtures, and employes. There are no end of cupboards and closets in the new presidential kit- chens and the First Lady could tell just what each was used for without peeking in to see. Nor did she mind showing whole shelves of canned vegetables to a group of young women who had automatically supposed all such stuff in the White House would be bought fresh. Incidentally, Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to all the servants and all the serv- ants spoke to Mrs. Roosevelt in a way which showed very plainly that they had met one another before. * * * A Takeoff on First Lady Another thirlg which gents were not allowed in on, but concerning which your correspondent has cer- tain information, was the Gridiron ‘Widows’ party at the White House, given for newspaperwomen.

BIT OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN IS RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN ‘Weed—Do you mean that a constitutional amendment will be proposed. In fact, it is a safe guess that the wind, when the situation shapes up, will be found blowing IN THAT DIRECTION. They’ll Get Value Whether or not they could afford the improvements, the North Dakota communities which are spending $2,000,000 in improving their water supply and sewage facilities are going to get good dividends from their investments. This is made plain by a survey of the state situation re- cently conducted by the North Dakota water and sewage works conference, an organization of engineers interested in the vital problems of public health and service. It means that people in the communities where a combina- tion of local and PWA funds has made improvements possible ij will live longer—and more happily. In the Red River valley, for fnstance, their nostrils will no longer be assailed by the nauseat- fng stench which pollution of that sluggish stream has made so obvious. In the smaller communities the burdens of individual house- + holders will be lightened. Folks who are used to running water = 4n their homes, for example, are apt to forget what a boon it can to try old-fashioned accommodations to realize the difference. The towns benefited may have trouble in paying for these improvements—but they are going to enjoy them. We Hope They're Right It will be encouraging to farmers to learn that the build- ing industry expects the farm country to lead it back to pros- perity in 1936, Contractors and lumbermen know that the need for building exists on the farm in large quantity and are fairly confident that the farmers will have the money. Reviewing the year 1935 and the prospects for 1936, the American Builder says: “There is much evidence to indicate that, due to the improvement of farm purchasing power and small town and rural business conditions, the revival in town home building will be even more vigorous than in : Such a condition is devoutly to be wished. The average to tell me you flirted with your wife all evening st the mas- querade party and didn’t know her? Bassler—Yes, that's right. But she was so agteeable, how was I to know her? Walking past a farm house a New Deal agent saw an old colored man about to set fire to a field of dry economic difficulties. This plan appeals to the imagina- tion as no other proposal does. It immediately stirs the sympathies, for few there are who begrudge those in declining years comfort and ease. It arouses hope of relief in those who are heavily laden and upon whom the care of the aged falls. There are also millions to whose avarice the plan silently appeals—to children and grandchildren who would welcome opportunity to help “Pa” and “Ma, or “Grandma” and “Grandpa” dis- pense of their $200, each, monthly pensions. Perhaps the greatest ap- Plause for the plan comes from this group, for among the older genera- tion there is yet that sense of thrift and independence of character which would revolt from such an unneces- Sary orgy of taxing and spending as the Townsend Plan would entail for their ostensible sakes, It is claimed by some economists that the “spending for recovery” idea is sound. They hold that if there were @ constant and rapid turnover of the earnings and profits of all people and corporate entities, there could be no financial congestions and hence, no. depressions. They declare, however, that under the prevailing economic system, such an achievement would be most difficult. They point to the enormous trust funds, insurance as- other forms of frozen wealth which arise out of savings and profits. Although the Townsend Plan proe Poses to tax transactions in the above forms of wealth, there are yet other. transactions arising out of earnings and incomes which the plan would Scarcely touch in proportion to the magnitude of their returns to their owners, such as; unearned increment from real estate holdings, profits of watered stock in public utilities, com- salaries paid the officers of our great broot . “Don’t do that, Uncle,” he cau- tioned. “Don't do that; you'll spoil the looks of that land.” “Why so, sah, why so?” asked the old man. “It will make it look as black as you are,” said the New Dealer. “Nebber mind dat, sah, nebber mind dat,” replied the old man. “Ah’s gwine to sow oats on dat land in de spring and den it will look just as green as yo’ is.’ out seven nights running.

The higher the prices of things, the fewer the transactions by the poor; the fewer the transactions, the lower the standard of living; the lower our civilization would fall. In other words, the way analysts and publicists see it, the weight of the plan falls on the workers—not on the well-to-do capitalistic groups who make the prices and profits. This would result in the country’s becom- ing more enslaved to vested interests on the one hand, and to old people. on the other—if the whole scheme did not blow up with a sickening infla- tionary explosion. Many contend that some plan must. be inaugurated to capture the fruits of monopoly and excessive profits, and to convert them to social uses, but they see only the gravest dangers in the Townsend Plan. Deep concern is felt over the fact that as industry seems to be return- ing to former production levels, re- employment and new employment does not keep pace: with the growth of the volume of production. This is due, in part, to improved technique in production. Some of our foremost thinkers are studying this question. Only a few weeks ago, the Works Progress Administration, under Mr. Harry L. Hopkins, ated a National Research by Mr. Corrington Gill, Assistant Ad- ministrator, to study the various im- plications of this queston.

She remembered, too, the funny little foreign houses they bad lived in. The floors were always hopping up on different levels. And there were picturesque gables and unexpected stairways.

Soreness due-to this cause persists until the tear or tears are healed. In exceptional inst the entire muscle may be torn from its attach- ment to the bone or from attachment to its tendon, by a sudden strain. Such an injury is called “charleyhorse.” A charleyhorse usually makes a visi- ble lump. or one which can be felt, and this takes a month or more to dis- appear, of course leaving some inthe muscle which may impair its full elasticity permanently. Runners and jumpers fear “pulling” the hamstrings, that is, a rupture or tear of the muscles at junction of muscle and tendon. Ball players, es- pecially pitchers, have to prepare the deltoid and the scapular or shoulder- blade muscle carefully to prevent the occurrence of « similar rupture or tear. in shoulder or arm, called “glass arm.” The preparation to prevent such injuries is commonly called “warming up” and is actually a gradually increasing use of the muscles—a gradually increasing exercise. The danger of rupture or tear of muscle fibre is of course greatest when the muscle is suddenly strained when cold. “If anyone immediately after undressing,” observed wise old Dr. Galen, two thousand years ago, “proceed to the more violent movements before he has softened the whole body and thinned the. excretions and opened the Pores, he incurs the danger of breaking or spraining some of the solid parts, but if beforehand the person gradually warms and softens the Solids and thins the fluids and expands the pores, he will run no risk of rup- ture or tear of muscle or tendon.” Excuse the allusion to pores—remember, that was 2000 years ago. ‘ . Sweating has nothing to do with tt. Sweating is merely an index of the degree of warming up, limbering, softening—an effect of the increased metabolism or the more rapid oxidation or combustion going on in the tissues. The sweating serves to cool the overheated tissues. It does NOT carty out any~significant poison, acid, waste matter. Of course increased muscular activity means increased formation of waste matter, by-products of oxidation or combustion in the muscle, such as carbon dioxide, water lactic acid. But these waste products are carried away through the circulation, and eliminated from the body through the lungs and through the kidneys, NOT through the skin. The other cause of muscle soreness is such waste matter imperfectly re- moved through the blood stream. One of the charactegistic effects of proper “training” is increased efficiency of the circulation in the removal of this waste material. Athletes well trained are more or less immune to lameness or soreness after exercise. _ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Meat Is Meat We use only chicken and mutton, no other meats.

After a while a silence closed down, broken occasionally by Dana's voice and then by Scott's. “Funny,” Dana thought, “It's not necessary to talk with him unless you want to. There's néver any need to pretend.” And yet. she had never been so alert: Phere was a feeling of vibrancy in the silence. Scott said, “It’s 12:30. Suppose you lie down on the sofa while ft keep watch. 1! promise to wake you as soon as there is a sign the storm's letting up.” Dana went ta the comfortable looking divan in the corner, tucked a pillow under her head and pulled @ coverlet over her. It was knitted in bright blocks. She suspected it was the handiwork of Scott's mother. “Good night,” Dana said. “Good night.” Scott said. For. a while she watched Scott. His blond head rested against the eyes were on the fire embers. How attractive he was, And how nice. Then she must have elept. She was awakened by Scott's voice, “Everything’s shipshape.” “The storm?” came Dana's sleepy query. “Gone where all storms should go.” He had a long raincoat on his arm. And when Dana stood up, he supported her with one arm while he slipped the coat about her. eee QuTeme it was calm and etill, but evidences of the tempest were everywhere.

Your family will be off their heads.” “No. Grandmother never stays up for us and Aunt Ellen isn’t the worrying kind. Nancy—” She stopped. She had been about to say, “Nancy wouldn't worry about me.” But it didn’t seem a sisterly thing to say. “It's a sort of self-governing household.” Dana amended. “In some respects at least. And in other respects it isn’t.” “I hope this is one of the self- governing occasions,” Seott said. He fitted her key in the lock care- fully. “Thanks for taking such good care of me.” Dana said in a. low tone. “I really had a grand time. And here we are.” i “And the gossips none the wiser,” Scott said, with a short taugh. “That's something really to be thankful for.”. He pressed her hand hard, and then was gone.

It caught Mrs. Cameron, sitting up in her nightgown without the light knitted shawl that Sarah general- ly placed about her shoulders when she had breakfast in bed. Mrs. Cameron promptly sneezed twice. Perhaps Sarah was right. Con- cerned about herself. Mrs. Cam- eron forgot that Dana had not been home the evening before. She went to sleep again. believing Dana had been with Ronnie, Aunt Ellen hadn't questioned Dana. As for Nancy, “Freedom for all,” would have been a perfect motto for that independent young woman. Thus the episode was to remain i known only to three people—Dana, Scott and one other. Dana did not receive her usual telephone call from Ronnie that morning. It didn’t occur to her to wonder why. She had inherited her mother’s naturally joyous atti- tude toward life and her father’s optimism. But Nancy knew Ronnie had not called. If Dana had cheapened her. self by staying out with Ronnie until the peep of day, Nancy thought, she has only herself to blame. The idea never entered Nancy’ brunet head that Dana could have been with anyone except Ronnie.
