Every village and hamlet observes what has become one of the greatest and finest of our national holidays because upon this day we pay tribute to the mental and moral courage and the physical valor which have enabled this nation to survive a century and a half of turbulent existence. When we celebrate Memorial day we of the present reach out and clasp hands with Americans of the past and from them we draw new inspiration, new courage to keep going forward in the paths of Justice, Freedom and Democracy which they marked out for us, some of them with their very life’s blood. On Memorial day America pays tribute to both those who served in peace and those who served in war, but in the back- ground is the fact that these observances also are America’s gesture toward the means by which it achieved and maintains national unity. For these states are cemented together by the blood of those who have served them, both in peace and in war. It was not by accident that the 13 original colonies were formed into a single nation. It took the sacrifices of the Rev- olutionary war, plus the consecrated thought of great patriots to bring about that achievement. But the system under which they worked together was a new one in the annals of the world. It was necessary to pioneer new phases of government and friction resulted. Sparks from that friction set off the greatest war ever fought on this continent when the North and the South battled through four desperate, blood-stained years to see whether there should be one nation or many nations. The Unionists triumphed and the future of America as a nation was assured. The job of the present generation and of all those to come is to see that it remains one nation, united and indivisible. The bitterness which marked the Civil war has long since passed away. The North and the South now join hands, each proud of its Americanism and of its membership in the great- est commonwealth the world ever has seen. The agonies through which the nation passed burned away all thoughts of any but a united America, and the United States stands before the world today as the best proof that a free and intelligent people can manage their own affairs. And marching with those who participate in parades today are the invisible legions of the dead who look down on us from beyond the grave and whose voices come to us from afar bidding us to maintain the same patriotic standards that they espoused. Their number includes the soldiers who have fought our wars and the women who bound their wounds. It includes the men and women who endured hardships to extend our fron- tiers and those millions of others who have done the days work and lived up to their obligations as citizens. Memorial day has made America conscious of its traditions and of the binding ties which surmount the difficulties created by an amalgamation of races and political or economic differ- ences. It presents patriotism as a virtue of which no individual and no nation can have too much. It puts us in step with the legions of our dead marching through the skies over the great- est nation upon which the sun has ever shone. Cap and Bells Congressman When Representative Marion Zioncheck got married re- cently such citizens of the nation as noted the fact probably wished him well and hoped he would quiet down a bit. Young Mr. Zioncheck had been cutting quite a swath before he loaded his bride into an automobile and eloped with her. He managed to get into and extricate himself from a bit of trouble and, i curiously enough, the camera men were always on hand to 1 witness the fact. ; The honeymoon was a hectic one, what with a riot in Porto i Rico and one thing or another and his homecoming was in the i same key, since he arrived at his erstwhile bachelor quarters to find that his landlady had put him out on the street. It seems she had discovered during his absence that he was hard on the furniture. In addition she apparently assumed that two people would be twice as hard on it. But still the barrage continues. Young Mr. Zioncheck called his wife by telephone upon his arrival in Pittsburgh to make a speech and then called on the major at 3 a.m. Then— a so the dispatches say—he put on a bout with the world’s (al- leged) champion wrestler and took a nap on the mayor’s desk in the city hall. Further chapters in this strange series of episodes probably will appear later. It is apparent, of course, that all Mr. Zioncheck seeks is publicity. Maybe he made a bet with someone that he could keep on the front pages for a given length of time. The poor e fellow must be growing tired by now. It is dollars to doughnuts * that he would have preferred going to bed when he hit Pitts- f =“ rather than tangle with the (alleged) redoubtable Ali ba.

State's Wish- | | es Ignored in Decision on Guffey | | Coal Act. | | By RODNEY DUTCHER | (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, May 30.—The conserv- | ative U. S. supreme court majority has | burned its bridges and assured a bit-| | ter-end struggle to curb the powers} which it has assumed over congres- | sional legislation. If Roosevelt is re-elected, his battle} with the six justices who have shown ; themselves grimly opposed to the New | Deal is likely to be the most spectacu- That, at least, is the opinion of his most influential advisers following the decision against the Guffey coal con- trol act, with its obvious inference that the Wagner labor relations act is as good as dead and the social security and other legislation in grave peril. The New Dealers are still hopeful that voluntary retirements or other causes will enable Roosevelt to fill va~ cancies in a manner which would change the court's complexion. That, coupled with a fear of drag- | ging the constitutional issue into the political campaign, is why the real} battle between the New Deal and the court is likely not to come before election. Some of Roosevelt's friends would; like him to take a courageous stand and boldly attack the court during the; campaign. But the inside betting is! on the probability that he will be| more cautious. You can mark it down as a strong possibility that some time within the next year there will be more than nine justices. By a simple act of congress the president would be enabled to ap- point three or four additional mem- bers of the court and to choose men who would be more likely to line up with Justices Stone, Brandeis, and Cardozo than with Hughes, Roberts, McReynolds, Sutherland, Van Davan- ter, and Butler. Such a move, according to strate- gists who whisper that it is more than a tentative proposal, would be ac- companied by official assurance that the court would be permitted to re- vert to its status as a nine-man body through failure to fill the first few vacancies and by an administration crusade for a constitutional amend- | ment specifically permitting social- economic and general welfare legisla- tion by congress. ** * Challenge from Hughes Chief Justice Hughes, in the opin- ion of many lawyers of varying politi- cal belief, specifically challenged the administration to make constitu- tional amendment a campaign issue when he pointed out that the people had the power to amend the consti- tution if they wanted to give congress the power to regulate industries and the relations of employers and em- ployes. Coupled with Hughes’ assertion in the stockyards case that the court would stand for no congressional at- tempt to limit its appellate jurisdic- tion, these experts say, that observa- tion may be taken as a defiance to the New Deal to do its worst in the po- | litical arena. | * * * States’ Wishes Ignored Leaving aside political aspects, it; can be readily seen that the court) majority has imperiled its position by | declaring industrial production to be | a local matter with which the federal government cannot interfere, because | regulation is a prerogative of the) states. | In the case of a demoralized in- dustry which the Guffey act was ex- pected to cure, the court opposed its | dictum to 80 per cent of the industry, | all the miners—and inferentially the rest of organized labor, both houses | of congress, the president and— | Perhaps, most significantly, the! seven states which filed briefs in sup- Looking at % with { Washington (Copyright, 1938, by David Lawrence) Washington, May 30.—If the aver- | $6, age citizen took time to follow closely what his representatives in congress are doing today, he would feel tempt- ed to inquire pertinently just what is going on behind the scenes in per- ; haps the most amazing situation that has ever confronted the United States senate. On the surface, the senate is con- sidering a tax bill on which there are naturally differences of opinion. No- body likes taxation and therefore it isn’t unusual to have opposition to various revenue-raising devices. But what is extraordinary and unparallel- ed is that only a few members of the senate—just a handful—seem to care to find out just what is going to be done with the money or what has been done with what has heretofore been authorized. To support the foregoing comment, one has only to read a statement read to the United States senate by Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia, a Democrat, who before coming to Washington was one of the most suc- cessful administrators that the state of Virginia has ever had in the gov- ernor's office. “I am astonished to discover,” says Mr. Byrd, “that the administration Proposes to spend $600,000,000 more for ordinary expenses and for relief in the fiscal year beginning July 1 next, than for the present fiscal year. with improving conditions I and nearly all other citizens expected a reduction in the colossal spending pro- ram.” Then Mr. Byrd proceeds to give the official figures which he had elicited by letter from the director of the budget, D. W. Bell, and which, as Senator Byrd points out, show that there will be a deficit for this fiscal port of the coal stabilization act, with the assertion that they themselves could not deal effectively with the problems of the bituminous coal in- dustry. The states were Ohio, Indiana, Tl- linois, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, ‘Washington, and Kentucky. They denied the contention of plaintiffs that their constitutional rights would be invaded by the act and asserted that federal regulation was essential. * *e Ties Government's Hands The court's decision leaves the fed- eral government powerless to remedy a situation which the states chiefly involved have said they themselves were powerless to meet.

SA'TURDAY, MAY 30, year, ending June 30 next, of nearly 000,000,000, or about $3,700,000,000 without the soldier bonus. Last year, the deficit on June 30 was $3,575,- 000,000, so the deficits are going up instead of down entirely apart from the bonus. Yet recovery is supposed to be here or on its way. ‘What is more striking, however, in the opinion of Senator Byrd, is that on May 1 there was not expended from previous authorizations some $2,480,000,000, and of this amount $750,000,000 was not obligated, and “yet congress is being asked to pass another heavy relief bill notwith- standing the balances on hand.” What is bound to cause much sur- prise also is Senator Byrd's further observation: “In 1937 we will collect in taxes $1,600,000,000 more than in 1936 and still the deficit continues in an alarm- ing amount.” Mr. Byrd took from the budget di- rector’s letter the estimates of expect- ed receipts and expenditures, The receipts, for instance, are predicted at $5,596,917,650, which is larger than any year since 1933 and: much larger than most years prior to 1933. As for the expenditures, the next year’s estimate is $8,272,554,370, which is larger than the years 1933, 1934 and 1935, but not as large as 1936 because $2,237,000,000 of bonus is included in 1936. But Senator Byrd calls atten- tion to the fact that the proposed ex- penditure of $8,272,554,370 in the next fiscal year “does not include the flood control bill and other appropriations recently enacted.” ‘Thus we have a rising curve of re- ceipts, a rising curve of expenditures and deficits that continue above $3,- 000,000,000 a year, making the public debt of the federal government higher than it ever has been in history—it is $32,000,000,000 already. All this is New Deal now to be anticipated, is further qualified by the added opposi- tion of the three liberal justices—a former professor of law, a defender of Public causes, and a jurist, as distin- guished from six men whose back- grounds are predominantly those of corporation lawyers. Previous indications have been that {the people of the country were largely inclined to stand behind any majority of the court, and the constitution as jinterpreted by that majority. But it is increasingly obvious that the op- position may be able to put up a very strong front. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Since debt can only be paid out of receipts from taxes or borrowings out of the savings of the American people, the test at this session of congress has been whether taxes could be ma- terially increased. Taxes are close to the saturation point already—that is, they are approaching the point where the cost of food and necessities of life may soon reflect the higher taxes and cause a curtailment of consumption and hence more unemployment. . What is the answer, if there is no further tax money? The unsound route is printing press money, which breaks down faith in all money—this' is not desired or countenanced by any responsible leader of the administra- tion or by its opposition. The alter- native remaining is to prune expenses. Senator Byrd himself wants that solution. For he suggests “a reduc- tion in spending equivalent to the new revenue anticipated.” He wants the 1937 appropriations to be cut to the basis of 1936 “and the tax bill can await a more matured considera- tion at the 1937 session and the deficit will not be increased.” But the truth is this is election year. The Democratic administration does not dare to cut now in the face of the November elections. When the elections are over—no mat- ter which way they go—there will be considerable use of the pruning knife and plenty of protests and clamor as pet prdjects are lopped off. Mean- while members of the United States senate, accepting dictation from the ‘White House, refrain from insisting on a cutting down of expense and the opposition party is presented with ® campaign issue of rhore importance than all the New Deal social objec- tives. For, it will be asked, of what avail are the social objectives if the credit of the government is impaired? President Roosevelt's statement to congress March 10, 1933, will be quoted against him again and again. For it will be recalled that he said: “For three long years the federal government has been on the road toward bankruptcy . . . Thus we shall have piled up an accumulated deficit’ of $5,000,000,000. Upon the unimpaired credit of the United States govern- ment rest the safety deposits, the se- curity of insurance policies, the ac- tivity of industrial enterprises, the value of agricultural products and the availability of employment ... - governments have been wrecked on the rocks of loose fiscal policy. We must avoid this.” up in the senate to try to avoid it. ‘The next few days will see how many members of the senate will join him or take s chance that the electorate will not take enough interest to ex- press its objections. “Too often in recent history itberal | Senator Byrd, Democrat, has stood| riagworms, hookworms, tapeworms, rats, mice, fleas, moths and chiggers.

Without strong glasses some of the most beautiful women can scarcely recognize their friends. The speaker was not a physician, of course. It is true certain famous beauties of the screen are half blind without tneir specs, but this is not due to the glare of studio lights or anything like that. It is just that the individuals happen to be very near-sighted (my- opic). The shape of the head and the shape of the eyeball has something to do with the tendency toward myopia—long head from front to back, long eyeball from front to back—and this is more or less hereditary. That is, if your parents are of the long-headed (dolichocephalic) type, such as Teutonic are likely to be, you are likely to be of similar type and to have more or less short-sightedness. The angle of the palpebral fissure or the width of opening between the eyelids, together with the prominence of the eyeballs, determines whether the eyes look “large” or “small.” Eyes commonly described as beautiful and soulful may be so, but when they are called big eyes the chances are that the description is purely fanciful; the eyeballs of persons of the same size are uniformly equal in size, whether you regard the eyes as small or In exophthalmfe goitre the eyes appear not only “large” but staring, as though the individual were startled or frightened. Exophthalmic means in fact bulging or prominent eyebas. The eyeballs actually protrude beyond the natural plane of the orbit, as the physician determines by measurement when examining the patient. These peculiar signs spell overacidity or over- stimulation of the sympathetic nerve mechanism which automatically controls the working of the eye. Other factors than hyperthyroidism or over-secretion of thyroid hormone may cause similar changes in the eyes. Certain drugs taken internally may do so temporarily; alcohol may do so for a brief moment or two before the depressing narcotic effects ensue. Genu- ine emotion, especially fear and anger, may do so. Feigned or fake emo- tion has no such effect. The size of the pupils, the black central dots or spots of the eyeballs, has nothing to do with the actual or apparent size of the eyes. The pupils nsturally dilate or enlarge when the eyes regard a distant object and con- tract or become small when the eyes regard an object close up. The pupils enlarge when less light falls on the eyes and at once contract to smaller size when bright light falls on the eyes. Certain drugs taken internally or ap- plied directly to the eyes may cause the pupils to remain abnormally con- tracted or dilated for hours. Various disease conditions alter the natural re- actions of the pupils too. Normal variation in the size of the pupils of course regulates the amount of light admitted _to the retina or sensitive film in the back of the eyeball. The change is made by involuntary muscle fibres under the control of the same automatic part of the nervous system, acting upon the iris or diaphragm surrounding the pupil. The iris is the ring which contains pigment and gives color to the eye. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pruritus Please suggest something to prevent the intolerable itching I have for hours after a bath?
