The service rendered, if it were not available in time of ~ need, would be priceless but such is the modern scheme of > things that even the poorest is receiving care in these institu- tions. During the winter there were many cases in which death, ' otherwise preventable, occurred merely because it was impos- sible to get the sick or injured person to the hospital. Doctors still give heroic treatment in emergencies, but the chances of success are vastly improved if the services of trained nurses and technicians are available. The additional facilities . which hospitals offer have done much to lengthen the span of human life, to ease pain and to restore to productive activity many persons who otherwise would be hopeless cripples or invalids. Many of the strides made by the medical profession have come as the result of the research and experience of hospital . workers, the careful recording of cases and the analysis of the data thus compiled. In passing it is only fair to pay tribute to the workers in hospitals who devote both days and nights to the service of humanity. A hospital is a service institution, not a business in the ordinary sense of the word. It cannot close its doors at 5 or 6 in the afternoon to remain closed until the next morning. Its operations are the same from Saturday afternoon to Mon- day morning as during other periods of the week. Instead of a 40-hour week the hospital operates 168 hours a week. Every hospital day is three eight-hour working days. Our hospitals are big business institutions, needing trained personnel in fields other than those of the treatment of pa- tients, but they are different from other business organizations in that they serve without question when emergency occurs. This, in fact, is one of the chief sources of loss to hospitals everywhere. Accidents and serious illness occur at all hours and to all kinds of people. When a bleeding form is presented for entrance there can be no quibbling about who is going to foot the bill. All too often the hospital is called upon to do so, for bitter experience has shown that when the patient recovers he often fails to pay. But these things are taken by the hospitals in their stride. They keep the lamp of service constantly alight. They are con- stantly available. Long Road Ahead By force of arms Ethiopia becomes an Italian province and there is great rejoicing among the Italian people. Like chil- dren at Christmastime they see visions of the fruits of their victory and they are happy. But the simple fact is that the real conquest of Ethiopia has just begun and a long and difficult road must be traveled before the process is completed. Whether or not Italy can do ~it remains a problem. For the Italians have never been a colonizing nation, Their national genius doesn’t run in that direction. Their provinces in northern Africa haven’t done especially well under their man- agement. and there is no reason to assume that their efforts nearer the equator will be more successful. For the real enemy of the white man in Ethiopia is the climate. The long rainy season will hardly appeal to man reared in a sunnier clime. Much must be done before the land can be truly habitable and a year of work must annually be done in six months because of the mud and misery imposed on | human kind by the unceasing rain. a As for the Ethiopians, they will probably be as well off under Italy as under the somewhat nebulous rule of the king of | kings, more familiarly called “Little Charley” by the war cor- a respondents. They had no real conception of liberty or of civil government as we know it and have gone the way of all savages | who stand in the way of what we choose to call advancing civil- _ $Sentimentalists may weep but the outcome was inevitable, Yor Ethiopia has only gone the way of other parts of Africa » where men with spears and other native weapons have been pitted against the more effective instruments of white con- _ querors.

Business Feels Better as Profits Pour in... Sen- ator Reynolds Can Handle His To- bacco... D. A. R. Feels a Kick- back . .. Democrats Try to Keep Spotlight Off Rivals’ Convention. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, May 11—Recent re- ports of indications that the big busi- ness-big finance opposition to Roose- velt was abating in its fury—with be- lief in the probability of his re-elec- tion resulting in an increasing dispo- sition to make the best of a “bad business,” even to planning horse trades with the administration—have brought corroborative details to this writer but no denials, Whatever the future of this ten- dency among the big boys, it can be reported that Roosevelt himself is tight now as “cocky” about the out- . | look as he has been at any time in the last four years and that this “cockiness” spreads right down throguh the administration. The president has felt himself on the upgrade ever since Al Smith made that Liberty League dinner speech. He believes that even the hostile shrieks of big business are subsiding behind mounting piles of industrial profits. High officials in intimate touch with the private banking industry have told Roosevelt that as business improves the fears of the industrial- financial groups are subsiding. This is the way they explain it: The administration has stood up against the threat of printing press money and the inflationists have practically folded up. The inflation threat from ex- cess reserves seems less menac- ing the longer it exists without materializing, and the more it ap- pears that bankers aren’t eager to lend rashly and that few want to borrow. The inflation threat’ from a rising stock market is discounted, because the federal reserve board has twice boosted margin requirements and it’s felt that the board won't hesitate in an emergency to use other ways to halt a runaway boom—such as its power to eliminate excess reserves. ee Spending Worry Allayed Worry over government spending | isn’t what it was, because government itself has indicated an increasing con- cern over it. Better business means increased tax collections and there is promise of decreasing deficits. Many corporations don't want the budget “balanced too much.” Government spending has gone back into bank deposits until ad- justed demand deposits are now back at approximately the 1929 figure. The deposits are idle, but are largely in favor of large corporations, which finally skim off most of the profits as the government money goes ‘round and around. RFC, HOLC, and FCA are now liquidating, taking in more money than they're paying out, and creating @ profit. (All of which is a pretty picture drawn by important gentlemen with Offices on Fifteen Street, where you'll find the treasury and federal reserve board quarters.) se * Kickback for D. A. R. The D. A. R. seems to be another of those organizations which produce ministration. Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins, who gets very little sympathy around Washington, benefited rather than suffered from a yarn said to have been circulated by the Pennsyl- vania D. A. R. regent to local chap- ters, to the effect that Miss Perkins had been one Matilda Wutski, who SENATOR LIKES HIS CHAW Senator Bob Reynolds of North Carolina: “I used to chew to- bacco. We all have to learn the ways of our friends. With every chew of tobacco I took, however, I made ® vote or two, and I have not for- gotten how to chew tobacco. married a man named Paul Wilson in 1910. Source of the falsehood was re- vealed at the D. A. R. convention here when Mrs. William A. Becker, president general disavowed with visible embarrassment all responsi- bility for its circulation to the chap- ters. “* * Tricks Played on G. O. P. There's plenty of room for sus- picion that Democratic leaders aren’t at all impressed with the desirabaility of adjourning congress before the Re- publican convention in Cleveland June 9. Although the more impor- tant Republican members probably will be able to get to Cleveland, the fact that congress is in session tends to take a bit of the edge off a party's political show. Roosevelt himself has arranged to be very much in the limelight during the G. O. P. session and anything his boys in congress can do to take the limelight off Cleveland will be will- ing contributed.

THE ‘GREEN’ TOWNS (St. Paul Dispatch) The announcement by the Resettle- ment Administration of its plans to build four greenbelt or “garden” towns this summer calls attention to recent criticisms of the public housing efforts of the federal government. In its report to the president April 29 the committee for economic re- covery suggested that public housing in general be supplementary to pri- vate enterprise, recommending among other things that government aid in re-housing programs in cities be con- fined only to rent subsidies, as in England. Similarly, the committee believes that the greenbelt type of project would fare best if undertaken by private enterprise. It bases its statement upon careful study of the English garden city developments of recent yé which has led the com- mittee to recommend that the fed- eral government should make ar- rangements whereby such projects can be turned over to private hands. It also recommends that the resettle- ment administration formulate a pro- gram “for federal co-operation with state planning boards or other state NOW AND THEN IS RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN } BIT OF HUMOR Neighbor — What was all the yelling about over at your house? | Small Boy— Daddy | has @ cold and mamma was trying to put an old-fash- foned mustard plas-| ter on him. “Sweetheart, you are beautiful,| wonderful, superb, magnificent ... er! ah. ‘a “Aw, go on.” | | “Do you mean to say that Angus MacTavish spent a tidy sum on Helen | last night?” “Yes, the dollar bill was folded six times, very neatly.” “And you boys really did no climb- ing while in Switzerland?

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FAT Meat eating animals seem to fatten more readily on a diet containing considerable fat; herbivora on a diet containing considerable carbohydrate (starches and sugars). On an ordinary mixed diet man seems to oxidize carbohydrates to yleld muscular energy and warmth more readily than fats and if the diet is well balanced and adequate in all the fat is more readily deposited in the tissues. But if the diet is deficient in minerals and vitamins and excessive in the proportion of carbohydrates—as our diet gen- erally is—the excess of carboyhdrate material unquestionably goes to form fat. A common notion harbored by fat folk is that potato is very fattening. In fact potato is only one-third . of potato is equal to one Choosing this and that item and eschewing other items on the menu, in the belief that one can control weight that way, is a futile scheme any- way. It is not the particular foods one eats or does not eat that deter- ther the grand total of food consumed day by day as measured or estimated |. Most people eat a square meal which is more or less adequate, then, because it is customary, top it off with dessert which is chiefly carbohydrate and represents just so much excess nutriment. Is it any wonder corpulency is so common sfter thirty? If excessive flesh were merely unbecoming it would not concern us here. Accumulation of surplus girth or displacement after the age of thirty defi- nitely shortens expectation of life, and so in the interest of ity we must recognize it as an important health problem. Not only that, but it handicaps every physiological process and imposes on the individual a lower level, a slower pace in living. However, most women and many men who desire to reduce are prompted by vanity rather than any consideration of longevity or health. Persons who do honest work or play every day are less likely to ac- cumulate excessive fat than are those who live by their wits or, as parasites, on others, Probably the best anti-fat prescription any one can take is two miles of oxygen three times a day, on the hoof. Exercise of any kind in- creases oxygen absorption, oxidation, metabolism. In some states of slow or subnormal metabolism, notably hypothyroidism or myxedema, the individual lacks inclination to work or play, prefers to sit or lie and mope or vegetate. Here the physician's judgment is essential, to correct the faulty metabolism and place the patient in a “free to red regimen notice that even before any significant change in weight they feel more in- clined to physical activity.
