Good Law, Good Sense Decision by the state supreme court that the so-called shipper-owner law is unconstitutional is doubtless good law, but it also is more than that. It is good common sense. The reasoning whereby the court arrived at its conclusion fs @ little involved for the layman, but the result is good. - The purpose of this statute was, all too obviously, to force business out of privately owned vehicles and onto the railroads and public truck lines, It represented an attempt by the state to regulate and control certain phases of private business which, fn some respects, went far beyond anything projected by the WRA. It sought, in effect, to tax out of existence privately pwned transportation systems doing only the work of their owners, From the beginning it was an obvious breach of equity. Bismarck lists a number of firms who, for reasons of conveni- ence or economy, operate their own trucking systems. They farry no goods but their own, are not for hire. The law presumed to make these firms charge themselves for carrying their own goods an amount equivalent to what the eharges by public transportation would be and, at the same time, ordered them to add the cost of such artificial transporta- fion charges to the cost of their goods to the consumer. The processes by which this would be accomplished were hot quite clear to the man’ who believes some things cannot be fone by statute but, nevertheless, they were in the law. At the same time the law attempted to make men take out ppecial licenses to haul their own goods in their own trucks just because they were in business. special. All of which consisted of beating the devil around the bush. It was both a bad law and an unenforcible law from the stand- point of administration as well as of constitutionality. It was an effort by the legislature to hamstring business, establish ® status quo more to its liking. And the influences behind it ‘were not without political prestige, Prefer Unanimity Every Monday The Tribune’s telephone rings a score of times’ br so and interested people inquire if the United States supreme court has ruled on the constitutionality of the TVA law. This statute, as probably everyone knows, is the one under which the tremendous experiment by the government is going forward in the Tennessee Valley. Monday fs “decision day” in the supreme court and each week the reporters have been on the alert for the ruling, but to date it has not come to light. ‘The reason, one may suspect, is that the judges are divided on the issue as they havé been on other measures lately and efforts are being made to reach a decision upon which all can Besree. According to Rodney Dutcher, The Tribune’s Washington forrespondent, Chief Justice Hughes feels that continual divi- sion in the court’s decisions, whereby one or two members really approve or reject an act of congress, has a tendency to {weaken the respect of the people for the court. Our state'supreme court has much the same attitude, has teen known to labor long and arduously to reach agreement father than give the impressoin of one-man rule. This temperate attitude undoubtedly is beneficial to both Fhe court and the nation.

Pepe Gets Back at Nye ... Representative Brewster on Other Side of the Fence. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 13—Unlike AAA and NRA, the Guffey Coal Act ably will be killed by the U. 8. su- preme court before the country has @ chance to learn how it would work. The court has paralyzed enforce- ment of the act in advance, As the tribunal now is constituted, practical- ly everyone is convinced, it won't jStand for much of that ambitious plan for rehabilitation and stabilization of the coal industry. Encouraged by fate of other New Deal legislation, coal operators— among them Andrew Mellon and his interests—have obtained injunctions in federal district courts relieving them from penalties provided for fail- ure to go in under the coal code provided by the act. Minimum price-fixing, based on costs, is the backbone of the whole scheme. And the National Bitumin- operators protected by injunctions cut their prices below those fixed. No one saw any point in going be- fore the court with such a mess on public view. That's why it’s so likely the Guf- fey Act will never have a tryout. Some lawyers think only parts of the act will be tossed out by th court. Others say that if the ity line of reasoning in railroad cases is followed, the act will survive intact They doubt, however, that the pres- ent majority will follow precedent. xe 8 Old Courtroom Is Shrine The old supreme court room Capitol is being kept changed as a shrine for visitors to|l look at.

ENORMOUS DOSES OF VITAMIN D FOR CHRONIC ARTHRITIS The high concentration of vitamin D which is now used with marked benefit in the treatment of long standing arthritis cannot be obtained in any food material, not even in fish liver oil. So invalids who receive this treatment must depend on one of the several synthetic preparations which the manufacturers supply through physicians. ‘The treatment starts off with no less than 200,000 units of vitamin D daily, and this must be kept up every day for weeks and months; in some cases the daily dose must be stepped up to 400,000 or 500,000 units, and sometimes the best results may require from 600,000 up to 1,000,000 units daily for a few days, then continued for weeks on an average of 300,000 units of D daily, . Signs of improvement, such as lessened pain, improvement in mobility, reduction of swelling, general improvement in health, better circulation, may be noted in from a week to six months. In any case if the treatment is started the patient should stick to it and not vary from the dosage pre- scribed by the physician for at least a month. If in that time no definite improvement is apparent, then it is up to the physician to increase the dose of vitamin D, The increased daily dose should be continued until improve- ment is felt, or manifestations of overdosage appear. What these manifes- tations are is a matter best left to the judgment of the physician. All the technical information is available to physicians only. Victims of chronic arthritis who have been subject to hay fever, asthma, recurring hives, or other allergic conditions, seem to respond particularly enormous daily doses of vitamin D better if they receive also fair daily rations of B, G and A, for instance in the form of the optimal vitamin ration I have harped on so much in ‘the past year or two. ‘Unfortunately for many arthritis sufferers the various vitamin D con- centrates which have been available for this treatment are extremely expen- sive, the medicine costing from two to four dollars a day, depending on the number of units required. Processes for production of the synthetic vita- min D preparations (viosterols having various trade names) are patented, and consumers of the products have to pay not only a profit for the pro- ducer but also a fixed fee for license to manufacture and a royalty on each item sold. Hence the high cost of the half dozen commercial tions prepara ‘jot duly certified potency which have been available heretofore. I am glad to note, however, that a rigorously assayed and authoritatively certified preparation to be released this month will provide a highly potent vitamin D concentration for this or other purposes at less than half the cost of the preparations referred to. Once more I caution laymen that these enormous doses of vitamin D can be safely employed only under the direction and observation of your physician. And the treatment has not had a fair trial unless the dosage has been kept up or judiciously stepped up until either definite improve- ment or toxic symptoms occur, whether in two weeks or six months, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Child ‘Training ‘Will a child of two develop her mind more rapidly if she takes up in- strumental music, dancing or singing, or should she wait? (M. T. H.) Answer—The child should be taught singing, music, along with reading, writing and sewing, under the supervision of her teachers, Plugs for Swimmers I am expert swimmer but always get sinus trouble when I go swim- ming, even though I do not dive. Have tried using lamb’s wool in my ears but it doesn’t stay in. I notice pearl divers have nose clips which they wear attached to a cord around the neck. (Miss B. F.) Answer—Ear plugs called “Fients,” of a waxy composition are satisfac- tory, available in drugstores. A clip for the nostrils has been devised, but I do not recall the name of it. Lamb’s wool loosely packed in each nostril will keep water out. Breathe ae when in swimming. Please tell us how to correct chronic constipation. (A. P.)
