Facts Are Important One trouble with Americans is that, too often, they let politicians mold their minds. Unreliable statistics quoted in the heat of a political address are accepted as facts, whereas they frequently merit no such trust. To make it worse, one group of politicians dishes out one sct of figures and another group proffers a set of its own. The result is confusion, distortion and misunderstanding. It is not surprising that the public frequently holds to some queer ideas. The failure of opposing politicians to agree on such things as current living costs, the status of employment, the purchas- ing power of the dollar and whether or not the attitude of indus- try toward common social problems is antagonistic or construc- tive are splendid illustrations. The fact is, of course, that all of these things can be de- termined by an intelligent and careful survey if the examina- tion is MADE HONESTLY AND WITHOUT INTENTION TO AFFECT THE THINKING OF THE PEOPLE. Thus one group of statisticians, with no purpose other than to tell the truth, informs us that so-called “real wages,” that is, wages in terms of what the money will buy, have advanced 9.99 per cent during the last year. They find that the income index, which groups wages, salaries and investment income together, has risen 15.08 per cent in the last year whereas the outgo index, comprising the cost of food, clothing, housing and miscellaneous expenditures has increased 4.58 per cent. The result is nearly a 10 per cent rise in real income. Authorities from which statistics entering this compilation were obtained included the federal bureau of labor, the national bureau of economic research, the New York Times analysis of dividend declarations and the national industrial conference board. A fact worth noting is that wages rose more sharply than either salaries or investment income, the figures being 14, 11.2 and 3.8 per cent, respectively. j ‘In a separate compilation, the national industrial confer- ence board announces that living costs rose 5 per cent in 1935 and at the close of the year were 18.6 per cent higher than in Apti!, 1933, the low point of the depression, but that they still were 15.3 per cent below the level of December, 1929. From November to December, 1935, the cost of living rose .6 per cent and the purchasing power of the dollar dropped as much, Of the advancing items, food was the most important with an increase of 1.3 per cent during the month. The same authority récently obtained data on the efforts of private industry to set up social security measures without impetus from the government. These show that the units of industry are much more progressive in attitude than industry as a whole, speaking through such agencies as the National Manufacturers’ association which went on record as being against all innovations. The survey covered 2,452 business establishments with 4,500,000 persons employed. This is 15 per cent of the employes in the industries covered. Of this number 61 per cent have group life insurance, ‘usually paid on a share-and-share-alike basis by the employer and employe; to 58 per cent, emergency loans are available; 54 per cent maintain mutual benefit. associations to protect in- capacitated employes; 44 per cent have formal pension plans; about a third maintain dismissal compensation systems, group health and accident insurance and relief funds. : In addition 39 companies are trying otit various systems to guarantee employment, this being their method of attack on the unemployment question. All of these things are important in our national life be- cause they represent developments and trends which will have an important effect on our future. These and additional facts are available to anyone inter- ested. Yet our politicians seem to know little, if anything, pbout them. Farm Conditions Better Farmers coming into The Tribnue office say things are much better from their standpoint. There is more cash in the rural districts and greatly increased optimism. Stock will go into the spring fat and in good condition. Work animals will be ready for a real effort in planting the crop. That it will be wet enough to plow is assured by the covering of snow, as deep over most fields as the stubble is high. Distress which marked lack of food for both humans and animals a year ago has disappeared. Much remains to be done but the rural population is having little trouble in getting along, Crop adjustment payments this year have been in the nature of extra money, available to make new purchases and even buy a luxury or two. Last year practically all of this money—and more besides—went to purchase food and feed. Statistical light is given the situation by figures from the federal reserve bank for the ninth district. These place the cash income of farmers in the four states of the district at $80,376,000 in October, exclusive of -benefit payments, esti- mates of which are not’ yet available. ‘The bank believes that October farm income, if rental and benefit payments are add- ed, will be the largest for any October since 1929. The basis for this belief is that the farm income for the first 10 months of 1935 was the largest for any similar period since 1930. Add to this the bank’s estimate that November income ffrom seven important farm products was 32 per cent higher then for November a year ago and it is easy to appreciate the Mistance which agriculture has come on the way back to a ’ profit-making basis. Bee Behind the Scenes Washington Plan to Feed Crop Surplus to Needy Is Well Riddled . . . SI Blows Dealt at Idea... Why Philly ‘Was Given Convention Revealed ...’Twas Mainly to Help Guffey. By RODNEY DUTCHER Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington, Jan. 17.—At the time of the 1933 massacre of little pigs, which brought on so much criticism, Mrs, Roosevelt herself is supposed to have made the naive suggestion that resulted in the creation of the F8RC —the Federal Surplus Relief Corpor- ation—which bought up more than 250 million dollars’ worth of surplus crops, for consumption by people on relief. That program was off to a promis- ing start, but trouble soon beset it. The first blow to the idea came when Roosevelt decided that FSRC should be abolished—on the theoty that his works program and return of the “unemployables” to state care would somehow guarantee everybody enough food. Remnants of the FSRC were moved over to the AAA. Then congress seemed to feel that the needy un- employed offered a good dumping ground for surplus crops and so sug- gested when it passed the AAA amendments appropriating 30 per cent of customs receipts for diversion of such surpluses, which would amount to nearly $100,000,000. More Blows at FSRC The next blow came when AAA de- cided to devote more than half the money to subsidizing southern cot- ton farmers and indicated that much ot the rest would be spent on dump- ing commodities abroad. Neverthe- less, a few here still hoped that the FSRC principle might be preserved. And then, late in December, en- tered Comptroller General John R. McCarl. He ruled it would be im- possible to use any of the customs money for relief purposes.

All queries must be accompanied by a Stamped, self-addressed envelope, THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND A tin doctor, in my lexicon, is a nurse, whether graduate, registered, certified, trained, practical, correspondence school or saireygamp, who un- dertakes to give medical advice or medical service either privately or as an ‘employee of.store, factory. school board, health board or other institution. Now if I were # nurse, any kind, I'd take a job as tin doctor if the posi- tion suited me and I hadn’t sufficient work to make a living in the legitimate nursing field. Tin doctoring is tacitly approved by all the powers that be. Tt is quite as respectable a racket for a nurse as is the “clinic” racket for struggling young physicians, A job as tin doctor in a plant gives the nurse” immediate and regular employment with regular pay, such as it is; whereas &® great many young women who have finished thoro courses of in the best schools of nursing are in actual want and in fact dependent on charity or the support of relatives or friends, A partnership or connection with a “clinic” gives the young and unknown practitioner or specialist the opportunity to enjoy the advantage of advertising and so to catch some busi- ness quickly, whereas he would imperil his professional standing, his member- ship in the medical society, if he were to work the dodges and schemes as & diversion of such agricultural com- modities from the normal channels of trade and commerce.” Next Roosevelt in his budget mes- sage recommended that the section providing for diversion of crops with Reprinted to show what they say.

The depression and its effect on foreign markets, combined with barriers to international trade, caused the tem- porary acceptance of the methods in- volved in the AAA. But defeatism is no suitable basis for a permanent agricultura! policy. What is the proposal, for example, for the 55 per cent of the cotton acreage which has been devoved to export production? Is that to be put to grasses and turned into competition ey the dairy and livestocs indus- ry? Agriculture is still entitled to equal- ity with tariff-protected industry. The difficulties are admittedly many. At- tainment may be imposs.ble. But the hasty action of a handful of representatives of the inglustry, looking very much like the rubber stamping of preconceived ideas hand- ed down from the AAA, can not be accepted as’ conclusive. To ignore in this offhand way the predominant farm philosophy of the 1920 decade is not deliberation; it is dictation, EDITORS private physician practicing under his own name that he works as an asso- clate-of the “clinic.” In an article filling 5% pages in a 24-page “bulletin” with the imposing name of Consumers’ Research, Inc., an expert advises consumers how to “Shop for Medical Care.” The advise is given by a “trained nurse who has done relief work in Europe and public health work in New York City. She is now 8 free-lance journalist in the medical field.” She is now a nickle-plated tin doctor, at least. In every case where a patient or his family wants the advice or assistance of a second physician or specialist, certain points must be . Clearly understood: As long as one physician is retained on a case, no second reputable physician will come in, in any capacity, except on invitation of the first; when a second does come in on the invita- tion of the first he cannot, under the code of the American Medical Association, express any opinion on diagnosis or treatment contrary to that given by the first physician except in private conversation with him. In other words, even though the second man sees that the whole case is being mismanaged, perhaps to a fatal termination, he will not give either the patient or his family any inkling of the dangers of the situation. Further, if the second physician’s private advice to the first is rejected, there is nothing more the second will do; those who pay the bills will never learn the facts or the difference of opinion that might have saved the patient. There is only one way of securing an honest second opinion when the issue is a dangerous one and there is doubt of the first opinion — dismiss the first man and call in‘ second without giving him any information on the previous practitioner, his diagnosis, or, when possible, his treatment. In other words we doctors are pretty bad eggs—where the condition is not serious you can trust one of us alone, but if it is anything serious, be- ware of @ conclave of two or more of us!

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER ‘XX pavLa said to the housekeeper, “Fix me up something to drink. Something stiff. And bring an- other package of cigurets. After that I don’t want to be disturbed —not by anyone.” Her directions were followed dis- creetly, and in silence. “Why don’t you say something?” Paula shrilled wildly, her taut nerves snapping. “Didn’t you hear the news? Scott’s married!” “Yes, 1 know,” Charlotte told her. “I’m sorry.” “Sorry? What are you sorry about?” “lm afraid he’s made a mis- take,” Charlotte said quietly. “He had no business getting married when he's just beginning his prac tice.” “Of course he hadn't.” Paula gulped down the strong drink and made a wry face. “He'll probably regret it,” Char lotte said. No one knew Paula so well as her housekeeper, who bad devoted herself to spoiling Paula, catering to her every whim, for years. “All right, now. Go out and let me sleep.” When the door closed, Paula flung herself down. Deep, terrible sobs were smothered against @ pil- low. She told herself that she hated Scott. She never wanted to see him again! The paroxysm over, she lay staring with glazed, pain- filled eyes at the beautiful, ornate room. It might have been different, she thought. if she had allowed Scott to see what was in her heart in- stead of hiding her love. She had been so afraid of losing his com- panionship that she had accepted erumbs—the confidence and affec- tion. he gave her. But she had never let. him look into that secret place of her heart, filled so long with nothing but him. “I know every mood of his,” Paula thought desolately. “It will take her years to know him as | do, And yet she walks off with him after a few months and marries him!” - Perhaps if they had not gone to the club that afternoon, he would not have met Dana. Or it Dana head not had some misunderstand. ing with Ronnie Moore this wouldn’t have happened. ! Maybe. . . maybe . . . there were those terrible pains in her head again. They always came when Paula was emotionally upset. More terrible than ever . . . blind: ing her with pain. Setting her crazy. She got up and staggered to the dressing table. From her purse she took a small key, which she fitted into a jewelry case. From the jewelry case she lifted a emall box. For a moment, she stared at the little white pill. She was re |form membering that quack doctor’s words, He had been called in one night at a hotel where she was staying. He had given her one of these pills, withholding the name from her. It had brought relief from pain almost miraculously. For a price, he had finally revealed the name of it. But he had said: “I warn you to leave this alone. It means hellish consequences.” cee ON the day Dana and Scott re turned from their honeymoon, Paula had gone shopping, looking for a wedding present. She considered silver and china. But she didn’t know the patterns they preferred. She doubted that Dana and Scott had even selected patterns, Marrying so suddenly, they couldn’t have planned any- thing. She decided on a beautiful and expensive lamp, the shade designed in an elaborate Oriental pattern. She had completed this part of her shopping expedition and was pre- paring to park her car before un- dertaking some other errands wheo @ roadster pulled out from the curb. Paula recognised the occupants. Ronnie Moore—and Dana! After the first shock, Paula Breeted them gayly. She felt ex- cited. Here was Scott’s bride, back from a 10-day honeymoon, and al- Teady meeting Ronnie downtown. Deep in her heart-a voice whie- pered, “Patience, Paula—just have patience!” She could almost hear the words, singing themselves aloud. coe THt night Dana said to Scott: “I went shopping and Ronnie brought me home.” “That was nice,” Scott said. He was standing by, a window, looking out. Dana thought his face seemed sober, troubled. His voice had sounded grim, too. “You don’t mind, do you?” Her voice faltered a little. Scott wheeled from the window. “Great heavens, no!” He laughed. “But you look worried!” “I am worried,” Scott admitted. “It’s Mrs. Wilkins. One of the prettiest, cleanest operations I ever performed. And now something's happened and the incision must be re-opened. There’s no accounting for things Iike that.” “Who is Mrs. Wilkins?” “Mrs, Wilkins is a very impor- tant person to you and tome My first surgical in this town. It would mean something to have trouble set in.” He added, “Then, too, she’s a nice old lady.” Dana felt an impulse to laugh. She had been so conscientious, by Mary Reymond Copyisht NGA 1933 nerving herself to tell Scott about that accidental meeting with Ron- nie, And he hadn't even been in- terested. It was hard to decide which was worse—a jealous hus band or a husband who wasn’t even mildly jealous. Packages began to arrive next day. Soon the small apartment was overflowing with boxes, as Scott's friends and friends of the Cameron family sent good wishes in the time-honored way—in the packages from fewelry stores and gift shops. Dana found it'an exciting pas time, opening the packages with Scott. Despite his teasing, she staunchly refused to untie a single ribbon alone. “It wouldn't be any fun withont you,” she said. They already had faced the per- plexing problem of where to- put these gifts in their limited quar- ters. “Gosh!” Scott exclaimed, “if this keeps up, we'll need a house, Maybe I made a mistake giving up the old place.” “We'll find places,” said resource: ful Dana. “And you didn’t make a Mistake. Think how nice it will be this winter without a furnace to bother with.” NEVER. never would she let Scott know of that first, deep disap- pointment she had felt when he had brought her to this home. “This,” said Dana, her arms lifted high to Scott who was stand- ing on a chair, packing wedding gifts on a high shelf, “is the pen- alty for marrying such @ good-look- ing and popular doctor.” Paula’s present, which Dana called “Light from the Hast,” was one of those that was not packed out of sight. It looked very grand, and oddly out of place, in the mod- est apartment. Paula had dropped tn the day before and then dashed home for @ beautiful Oriental tapestry and two gorgeous vases. “I have no earthly use for them since they don’t match the scheme of my Place,” she said. “So please use them, Dana.” Neither did Dana think they matched the scheme of her apart ment, but to refuse was out of the question. She watched, with mis- Givings, as Paula tacked the elab- orate tapestry above the couch. Dana didn’t like it. She didn’t like the- Oriental vases, or the Oriental lamp either. But what could she do about it when Pauls was obviously trying to be friendly? Nancy breezed in presently. “Where's the incense?” she had asked. “And the teakwood and the carved ivory and all the rest? I must say, I wouldn't have sus- pected you of anything like this, Dana.” “Paula brought them. She seeme@ anxfous for us to use them,” Dana said doubtfully. “I’m afraid they Make this living room look pretty wil” a “Bmocth as silk”. Nancy com: mented. After a moment, Dana realized Nancy had not been talking about ithe living room. (To Be Oontinzed)
