The answer is, I wrote a book. I had appendicitis shortly afterward. Wouldn’t mind having appendicitis again, if some one perfects ambulatory treatment. Just to see whether they were serious about it, I queried two thousand correspondents recently—took them as they came and asked them to sug- gest what subject or subjects I should cover in a book. Reckoned that Good would leave me free to attend to my bowling. Chose P prey > But, by Jingo, they called me. Not only that, but they egged me on— hosed rik in the proper sense of the term. ’ ath sate! Nutrition and Diet was the most popular subject, 308 votes. Nerves came second, with 272 votes—I regret to tabulate, for it does seem that people turn s deaf ear when I tell ’em there is no such ailment. Constipation drew 260 votes—probably new readers. And that's the deuce of conducting a health column like this, you never can get all your readers educated. You see, old subscribers die off in spite of all you can do to keep them on their fodin ration and everything, and new subscribers are terribly misinformed before you can begin working on them. I am highly gratified to find that 234 of the two thousand readers picked at random give preference to Exercise in Health and Illness. This is truly remarkable. It inspires me to undertake a revival of the Last Brady Symphony. There is a set of exercises designed to keep a well per- son fit and to help one who has gone stale to come back.

Akron, Ohio, May 20.—(7)—The Goodyear Tire & Rubber company closed its plant No. 2 Wednesday when between 1,500 and 2,000 men of the night shifts refused to leave the Plant and make way for the day shift. Goodyear’s plant No. 2 employs about 6,000 persons on all four shifts. Work at the No. 1 plant continued without interruption. Union spokesmen said the sudden “sitdown” protest was called because of the continued as- signment of a non-union employe as leader of a crew of eight men in one Sa the time pits. There was no dis- ler. Herriot Offered Post Of Foreign Minister Paris, May 20. — (7) — Edouard Herriot, thrice premier of France, weighed Wednesday an appeal from Leon Blum, premier-designate of the incoming leftist government, to be- come foreign minister and take leading part in the proposed League of Nations reform. Blum, leader of the Socialist party, urged Herriot per- sonally to accept the foreign affairs portfolio in the new cabinet, to be formed after the left - dominated Rheumatiz came in with a total of 171 votes. Arthritis may come and neuritis go, but the rheumatiz goes on forever. With no intention to boast I merely record that 144 of two thousand lay- men and laywomen who registered in this symposium considered Cri the paramount subject—and it may or may not have any significance that these twelve dozen people picked at random called it cri and did not explain par- enthetically what they meant. Fourteen per cent of the people are belly conscious. They want to know about girth control. Minor Ailments and Medicine Cupboard received 242 votes and Emer- gencies and First Aid 201 votes, but most of these votes were credited to the other subjects which they mentioned first. Only 28 mentioned Sex Education, 24 Breathing, 22 Blood, 19 Keeping Young, 18 Beauty Hints, 12 Babies and Mothers, and 11, it is encouraging to note, Birth Control. The remaining votes were scattered among a score of other subjects. Half a hundred told me to be sure and put plenty of humor in the book, and half a dozen begged me to put no sarcasm in it. So that’s what people want to know about health, eh? the presence of the supreme court and special missions from 27 nations. ‘Well, what have I been telling them here these twenty years? chamber of deputies convenes early in June. ——— QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Looking at { Washington (Copright, 1936, by David Lawrence) Washington, May 91—The devas- tating effect upon the American con- OF WEALTH but the substance is missing and the result | launched by the North Dakota Chris- |stitutional system of a congress that always is disaster. |tian Endeavor Union.

The marketing provisions will be revived. Transactions in interstate commerce and even price-fixing may be upheld where articles affected with a public interest move in interstate court was never more the chief justice that the constitu- it is not proper to say there coal is involved. Certainly, May 18 will be known as an eventful day in the chronicles of @ year ago. But on the same day there was handed down in the circuit court of appeals of the District of Columbia an equally important opin- ion which could not have been de- livered but for basic doctrines enunci- ated in the Schechter NRA case. This was the case in which the rural resettlement administration of Dr. Tugwell was held invalid. But the opinion goes further. It questions the right of congress to delegate to the executive the spending of money for any unconstitutional purpose; the federal government's rights. Housing for private use is not regard- ed as a public purpose. Since the supreme court of the United States will finish its present term before June 1, the latest case from the court of appeals of the dis- trict will hardly be argued before next autumn. Meanwhile, the opinion fur- nishes an interesting corroboration of the viewpoint of those in congress who have insisted on ear-marking appropriations and specifying just for what ends the public moneys should be spent. There is another epochal develop- ment in the case. A municipal gov- ernment was admitted to have the right to sue the federal government to restrain the latter from draining hitherto could not make such s suit effective as the supreme court has held that no one citizen could show @ direct interest sufficient to enter- tain his plea. But now apparently a municipal government can enter a Plea in the District of Columbia courts against officials to prevent the federal government from taking away its tax resources. This is of trans- cendent importance and may turn out to be the missing link in constitu- tional history as it relates to the power to prevent extravagance by the federal government or to the check t a hitherto unlimited right to tax anything and everything or to grant tax exemptions in a manner that adversely affects the muncipal- ity and its revenue-gettins opportun- such a hodge-podge that the supreme urt tried conscieniously to separate ie valid from the invalid sections. Five justices—Sutherland, McRey- nolds, Van Devanter, Butler and Rob- erts—said it couldn't be done, that the whole statute was so tied together that they considered the act uncon- stitutional in its entirety, but reserved the right to consider any new legis- lation on its merits. The other four justices—Hughes, Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo—said |the act was “separable” and that it wasn’t necessary to pass on the labor or wage sections or the tax sections at this time if the power to regulate marketing was upheld, which, of course, it wasn’t by the five justices in the majority opinion. There were six votes for outright condemnation of all the provisions of the law except marketing, and on not be confiscatory and other consti- tutional inhibitions will have to be observed whenever a specific case arises to test the federal power. 3. Congress will not try at this session to re-enact any substitute for by its valid and invalid provisions! tne Guffey law. Even if it tried, the chances would be against passage be- {cause the American Federation of \Labor is in a life and death struggle with John L, Lewis of the United Mine Workers.

He went up several degrees in his own estimation. If thinking of it could do that much to him, he needed her! She must marry him. He reviewed what he frankly called his method of attack.

He was net above using it. Meanwhile he would content himself with @ trial of his first method, said quickly, “Please let’s turn off the main road here. At all costs we must avoid meeting the others. And, once more please, Basil, will you promise never to breathe a word about this?” If Hollywood heard about it, Lin- da knew that she was through. There was only one way that they might be discovered, and that was if either she or Basil Thorne them- selves were to tell about it.

And Basil Thorne expected her to be romantic! At least, she thought te did, since he had proposed to er. The big white car sped over the lonely road, and the sky bright- ened and broke into a flame of color with the rising sun and wakening world. Still the two rode, huddled in their great coats, silent and fa tigued, quiet with their separate thoughts. Why had she ever been afraid of him, Linda wondered. He had been nice last night and now he ‘was meek as a lamb. And he had proposed to her. It had surprised her because Basil wasn’t what she'd call a marrying man It hadn't surprised her in the least that he had offered her marriage instead of a less respectable propo- sition. Linda was the kind of girl that men propone to, qyut was precisely what Basil Thorne was thinking in his glum ailence. The idea of mgr- riage appalled him, but he ingly admitted that marriage to 8 girl like Linda was the only As she had expected, one of the telephone messages she had ig- nored the day before told her that there was a change of plans and the company was postponing the trip to San Jacinto until the next week.
