Cool- idge, it Seems, Didn’t Hitch With Morgenthau. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 11.— If gossip nominated presidential candidates, Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts would be as likely a Republican pos- sibility as anyone. There's a choice report going around in rather exalted circles that Roberts, asked recently by a friend ‘whether he would accept the nomina- ‘ion if it came to him, replied that no man could duck such responsibility. Prominent Pennsylvania Republi- cans are said to be especially inter- ested. Roberts was one of them once. Bosses in other eastern states also have been thinking about it. Roberts has become the hero of the anti-New Deal forces through his majority epinions against New Deal laws. It can’t be said definitely whether Roberts has been sounded out. But no convention will nominate a man unless party leaders are certain in advance of his acceptance. In 1916 it was William Howard Taft—not then on the bench—who first approached Justice Charles Evans Hughes. After that George Perkins, the ex-Morgan partner and financial angle to Teddy Roosevelt's between work with Hughes and the Politicos, see New Consumers’ Champion The social security board is about to acquire an economic adviser who will study its vast program in opera- tion, and consumers will have still the course of farm prices almost as keenly as the producer him- self. No manufacturer wants to lose that great farm market. One of the troubles in adjusting the farm situation is that too much of the talking, if not of the thinking, has been done by Politicians, and these gentry have a habit of seeing what they want to see, proving what they want to prove. The last man on earth to accept an unpleasant fact is a political officeholder —or even a citizen seeking office. Thus we have had few disinterested appraisals of the effect on farm prices of the supreme court ruling invalidating the AAA. The record, as disclosed recently in an Associated Press review, shows that of 10 major items, five have advanced in price and five have declined since the ruling. This probably means that the decision had no fundamental effect whatever on prices for the current crop because the volume of production had been fixed before the ruling was made, For the real effect on farm prices we shall have to look to the next crop year. In that connection an observation by the National City _bank of New York in its financial letter for February may be of interest. This great financial institution, commenting on «the business picture, says: “Commodity prices, with few ex- ceptions, have been firm, including the farm products which in the long run might be affected if the supreme court decision invalidating AAA should lead to increased production.” { Cagy enough but a warning to the farmers and to all busi- ness dependent upon agriculture for prosperity. : Relief in Canada Disclosure in press dispatches that George F. Fensom, Canadian relief inspector, had been held prisoner by residents of a farming village who demanded that there be no curtail- ment of the dole, emphasizes the fact that relief is the most pressing problem of government almost everywhere. » + England now has the third generation on the dole. Ger- many and Italy, operating under strong dictators, are continu- ly harassed by the unemployment issue, Other nations face at. But Canada is more like the United States in most respects than any European nation and most of us had assumed that he much-advertised tendency to abide by the law in Canada obviated the troubles which we have experienced. Tke press dispatch about Mr. Fensom’s incarceration shows that this is not true. A year ago Saskatchewan was plaining that its young men were getting married because dole granted a man and wife was larger than that granted single man and woman separately. In short, Canada has been having the same sort of unemployment trouble that the United States has experienced. There is something illuminating in that. At the same time here is encouragement. When we are led to the belief that our reatment of the problem has been insufferably dumb we can at least come to the conclusion that we have been as intelligent /as most other nations, with their concentration camps and their | perpetual idleness for a large portion of their populations. When the Next War Comes So much trouble has been brewing for so long in Europe the current effort of Germany to reoccupy the demilitar- {ized zone in the Rhineland is only one more bubble on the boil- ng pot of the Old World maelstrom. Nevertheless, it is likely to be an important one, for this development means that a threat again will exist at France's jeastern doorway—and France has been a participant in every ‘major war fought on the European continent, The main thing which has held the war dogs in leash has been the fact that pressures of population have not been too onerous in the countries which sacrificed so much manhood in the last war. A new war requires a new crop of soldiers and that has not been available. That fact has done more to avert war than all the conversations of diplomats. But the lack is being remedied. It is now more than 17 since the Armistice. A new generation is nearing matur- ity. Within the next few years it will have reached an arms- And when that time comes Europe probably will turn part pf it into cannon fodder and another part into war-torn hulks pf men. t is an unpleasant outlook but IT HAS ALWAYS HAP- D IN THE PAST. There are causes for war in plenty All that is needed is a combination of military pride and another champion to represent them in government councils. ‘Walton Hamilton will resign as di- rector of the consumers’ divisioon to accept the social security appoint- ment. He will be replaced by Clar- ence Ayers, chairman of the eono- mics department at University of Texas. 5 Hamilton is a professor of law and economics at Yale. He was a mem- ber of the national industrial recov- ery board and recently has directed a notable series of price studies for a special cabinet committee. His aim is to make a constructive attack on insecurity and his job will be to locate weak spots in the pres- ent program and study the problems which it doesn’t reach. He regards the problem of reduc- ing the volume of unemployment both as imperative and as falling within the federal security program’s ‘scope of study. The Limit in Jokes Latest joke on a certain widely known New Deal agency: “I was hurrying home, darling,” explained a tardy husband to his wife, “when I saw some boys and girls building a snow man. It was & very handsome snow man, “After they got through, they put a hat on his head and leaned & shovel up against him. “And just as I was about to leave, 8 PWA man came along and handed him @ check!” Ayers was associated with Hamilton on the Amherst college staff. se @ Why Coolidge Quit Thomas Jefferson Coolidge re- signed as undersecretary of the treas- ury, not as most reports said, because Of disagreement with Roosevelt's fis- cal policies. He quit because he couldn’t get along with Secretary Henry Morgenthau, who, it has been said, tends sometimes to become arro- gant and difficult. Assistant Secretary “Chip” Robert quit after certain suggestions, Prac- tically all his former duties had been taken away. Coolidge’s resignation leaves As- sistant Secretary Josephine Roche, who has nothing to do with fiscal af- fairs, as the person with the most ability in the treasury. Roosevelt runs the treasury from the White House and under him the secretary will always be a “shadow man.” The source of Roosevelt’s advice in treasury affairs is rather a mystery, but the most likely suspect is Reserve Board Governor Marriner 8.

V. Overn in the School of Educa- tion Record North Dakota University) There are some unfortunate defects in our ‘school organization, however, which tend to prevent the high schools from carrying out their patri- otic mission. How did it happen that so many pupils are obliged to attend schools in one-room buildings in very small districts along with mere hand- fuls of other pupils; while others en- joy the benefits of a village or city school system and a much more ade- quate social situation. That condi- tion came about in an exceedingly strange manner. About twenty-seven years after the Pilgrims landed at Provincetown and Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, the “Old Deluder” law was passed by the general court of the colony. This law stated that whereas Satan, that old deluder, had always kept men from the study of the scriptures in times past because they were written in an unknown tongue, and later by keeping men from the study of tongues; therefore, every town which had fifty house- holders should establish a reading and writing school, and every town with 100 householders should estab- lish a Latin grammar school. The town in Massachusetts was not what that name implies in North Da- kota; but it was somewhat similar in area to our township and was irreg- ular in shape. The Latin grammar school had a very restricted aim. It was to train only the most gifted boys in each community to read Latin and Greek, in order that they might enter Harvard college to prepare for the ministry. In those early days that was the only profession for which people prepared by going to school. Those schools became very unpopular because their curriculum was too nar- row. They did not help the average With Other ED boy and had no place for girls at all. Often there were towns which refused to establish them. Year after year a few towns were hailed before the gen- eral court of the colony and fined for not conducting Latin grammar schools. At first the fine was five English pounds in money; but later on it was increased to as high as twenty pounds for some of the lar- ger communities. One town was fined at three different times in twenty years for its failure to comply with the law. Such a condition could not continue indefinitely. Eventually, the bright people in New England discovered a way to evade this obnoxious law. That was done by dividing each town into many tural school districts, each one of which supported only the reading and writing school. The law did not com- pel any district which comprised less than a town in area to establish a Latin grammar school. Thus, the small rural school district, made small purposedly to support only an ele- mentary school: without a secondary School, was created by spite work; and the law which required Latin grammar schools to be established was evaded by means of a Yankee trick. When, considerably later, the middle western and western states were established, their manner of or- ganizing their education was bor- rowed from New England rather than from the south. Thus it came about that there are today almost every- where many tiny school districts sup- Porting small one-room schools, which were inherited from that little piece of spite work done in Massachusetts long before the United States consti- tution was written. In 1936, when the majority of all families are demand- ing high school opportunities for their children, they are prevented from supporting such schools eco- RANGA HlAlT le MAlW, olviela RaMle!

Perhaps a number of readers are located in consolidated school districts. Very probably what they have heard about consolidation has always had reference to rural centers. Is it not surprising that con- salidation of schools used to be a more vital problem in the cities than in the country? In Hartford, Con- Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

The focal infection principle, intelligently applied, has brought about great relief or complete cure in a good many cases of otherwise hopeless chronic arthritis in the past twenty years, Focal infection means that the germs, say a strain of the notorious Streptococci, have been allowed to camp for some months in one tonsil, about the root of tooth, or in one of the nasal sinuses, and eventually, as they grow bolder and stronger, an explor- ing expedition enables them to invade and establish a colony in one or more joints. There’s a lot more to it, but perhaps this will give you some idea what we are talking about. Please notice I said focal infection principle, not theory. Only charla- tans dare to speak of the germ “theory”—and they dare to do so because they know their audience is ignorant. Chronic arthritis is not a specific condition such as diphtheria or rickets, but just a general name for any long-standing derangement, in- flammation or disability of one or more joints, whether the cause be injury, infection, nutritional disturbance or abnormal metabolism. Since it is not specific, it is unlikely that a remedy or treatment will be found efficacious in all cases of chronic arthritis. Irrespective of the nature of the trouble one remedial measure introduced within the past decade or two, has proved a boon to most sufferers who have received it. I refer to medical diathermy. This does not purport to cure; but it does give distinct relief and thru its effect on metabolism contributes with other measures towards recovery. It appears to be a plausible assumption that some fault or difficulty in calcium metabolism or utilization in the body may be concerned in chronic arthritis irrespective of its nature. Many readers have assured me that they have experienced extraordinary relief from such chronic conditions as hay fever, asthma, recurring hives, giant hives (medically known as angioneurotic edema) and hyperesthetic or allergic rhinitis, from taking for periods of months one or another form of calcium (usually ten grains of calcium lactate three times a day) along with daily rations of fish liver oll and more or less sun bathing or exposure of the skin to ultraviolet light from a lamp, where sunlight is not available. The fish liver oil contains vitamin D. In the body chemistry vitamin D seems to be essential for normal calcium metabolism. We know that ultraviolet light activates a substance in the skin (called sterol) changing it to viosterol. Perhaps vitamin D is the natural stimulant to the function of the parathyroid gland. Don’t go away now. We're thru the worst of it. Comes now a report by Irving Dryer, M. D., and ©. I. Reed, Ph. D. (Archives of Physical Therapy, Sep. ’35) of their success in the treatment of chronic arthritis with massive doses of vitamin D—200,000 U. 8. P. units daily for a month or more, then 300,000, or 400,000 or 500,000 units daily for several months. (Thursday we'll resume this talk about arthritis.) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Stature I am 16, 69 inches tall. I want to be at least six feet in height. Can I expect to grow three more inches before my growth stops? In the last year I grew about two inches. (L. ©. J.) Answer—Yes. Growth normally continues until twenty. Immunization Does the board of health furnish free anti-typhoid injection? (8. R.) Answer—In some communities free immunization against typhoid is given indigents. Ordinarily this is so inexpensive that it is a good safety investment for an individual to make. Salt Water beds oe ermful to drink a cup of hot salt water every night before going to 2 (D. B. Answer—Not if you get any comfort from it. As a rule I think it is bet- ter to drink water, hot or cold as you prefer, without the salt added. Most of us get rather too much salt anyway. (Copyright 1936, John F. Dille Co.)
