Better for Teachers The schoolmasters and schoolma’ams of the nation are tak- ing their summer vacations these days, and heaven knows they have earned them. And as they take it easy in whatever vaca- tion haunts they have chosen, they probably put in at least a part of their time wondering if the slowly rising tide of pros- perity won't at last cause the nation to let up on them a little. For the school teacher has had a tough row to hoe these last few years. He has been nobody’s friend, the target for every crank and demagog, the No. 1 item on everybody’s list for economizing. You can hardly blame him if he is hoping that things will start being different pretty soon. When the depression came, the revenues of states and cities fell away alarmingly, and expenses had to be cut. Where did the cutting start? Why, right in the little red schoolhouse, to be sure—and in the big new high school, the expensive tech- nical school, and the university campus. First the teachers found their pay being reduced. Then, in case after case, they found that the checks weren’t coming through at all. The famous Chicago situation, where teachers existed somehow for months, and even years, without seeing a red cent of pay, was only the most spectacular of many similar situations. Just how the teachers lived is not quite clear; but they gritted their teeth, tightened their belts, and hung on somehow. Then, as the worst of the economic pressure passed and things grew a bit easier along the economic front, the witch- burners began to light their torches artd go out on the prowl. Here, once more, the school teachers were the first and most obvious target—an ideal target, for the average teacher simply cannot answer back when inquisitors get on the trail. From the things that happened thereafter, you would almost suppose that our teachers had been convicted, en masse, of trading with the enemy in wartime. State legislature§ and city councils thought up binding oaths for the teachers to take. Investigating committees groped their way through textbooks and lectures. Young women who had their hands more than full trying to get irrepressible youth to pay a little attention to the intrica- cies of plane and solid geometry were solemnly asked if they believed in the constitution from kiver to kiver. Only the foot- ball coaches escaped. This wave, like the wave of economizing, is beginning to die down. The teachers have lived through it, and—except for those weary souls who are grinding their way through summer school—are taking a little well-earned summer rest. As they rest, you can’t blame them if they are hoping that the country’s return to prosperity will cause their fellow citi- zens to leave them alone and let them get on with their thank- Jess, ill-paid, and tremendously important job. Non-Political Accounting John R. McCarl, retiring after 15 years’ service as comp- troller of the United States, leaves this mighty pertinent ob- servation, to-wit: bookkeeping and politics never were meant to mix under the American form of government. That is to say, Mr. McCarl explains, “that an accounting office absolutely and utterly free of politics is essential” in Washington—for all administrations, as a permanent setup of our government. At the same time, the retiring comptroller general urges wholesale reorganization of government to effect a “vast mone- tary saving,” and to assure better administration. We hope the Byrd senate committee will return strong rec- ommendations along the line of these suggestions and that the next congress will carry them out. The whole problem of government reorganization has been dodged and by-passed quite enough. No Hero Worship Here The sideshow appearance of John Dillinger, Sr., at the Great Lakes exposition in Cleveland is proving pretty much of a dud these days. The crowds just aren’t turning out any more to view with morbid curiosity the father of an infamous gang- land killer. There was a time, a year or so back, when the elder Dil- linger drew large audiences. But now, it seems, the hero worship of the gangster is about over in America. The public has caught up with itself. If there is any hero worship at all it’s for the men who have made it their business to snuff out those thugs of whom John Dillinger, Jr., was a leader. be: And that trend is certainly refreshing. Somehow it sort of restores one’s faith in America’s sanity. No Room in New York One hundred twenty-two New York social agencies have joined in issuing a warning to the jobless girls of the nation. It is, “Don’t come to New York!” Out-of-town girls, without adequate funds, without def- - inite plans, in search of employment and “‘fun,” will likely get neither in the big city, it is pointed out.

Burlew Seems to Have “Gotten His Man” ... But ‘Super-Sleuth Is Slated to Stay in Service of Government ... He Has Found Out “Plenty” in Probes for Administration. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 20.—The mystery of what has happened to Louis R. Glavis, the super-sieuth who hae bee: combating graft ana scanda: for PWA and the Interior Department these last three years, seems almost as deep as any that Glavis himself has un- raveled in his spectacular career. But it is clear enough that his days as chief investigator for Secretary- Administrator Harold L. Ickes began to be numbered months ago, when he; first crossed the path of Ebert K. Burlew, grand vizier to Ickes. The duel between Glavis and Bur-' lew became intense and the result is that Glavis is going to work for the senate campaign expenditures in- vestigating committee and will also de odd jobs of investigating for the president on the side. All hands are at great pains to make clear that Glavis didn’t resign, that he wasn’t asked to resign, and that he wasn’t fired. After Administrator Hackett an-/ nounced at a PWA party that Glavis was on the way out—and there were some loud cheers—Ickes caused Hackett to apologize to Glavis. But the famous detective has been sitting in his office with practically nothing to do and for weeks Bradley Smith of his staff has been known as “acting chief” of the division of investigation. Glavis’ first assistant left some time ago as a result of disagreement with Burlew. * * * Burlew Flattens Foes Meanwhile, there’s an atmosphere of tense embarrassment in the Ickes domain and one is reminded that 28 years ago, in the Ballinger scandal, Glavis as a young man who dared to tell the truth was a storm center at the Interior Department. The cir- cumstances, of course, are different. Glavis is the latest of several high officials under Ickes who have been flattened out more or less completely because they antagonized Burlew. Although Ickes has often been blamed lowing him to ride over his other sub- ordinates in an intermittent three- year sniping fest, the fact is that Bur- lew has been smarter than his en- emies and hence a much more effec- tive sniper. Ickes has become persuaded that he has suffered from the “snooping” and “man-hunting” tactics of the big Glavis force of investigators. Many PWA officials and employes were glad to side with Burlew, charging various petty or inept invasions of their of: fices or projects and insinuations as} to their honesty. They allege that Glavis investigated “a lot of stuff he has no business in- vestigating” and it appears that his inquiries sometimes led him into the affairs of some of the numerous fel- low Chicagoans whom Ickes brought into PWA. Even some of Glavis’ friends admit that some of his investigators acted stupidly or offensively, although it isn’t easy for an outsider to judge as to the justification for the consider- able bitterness pening Glavis. * Point to Fine Record On the other hand, Glavis partisans point out that his division made a strong record against political crooks, oil company lobbyists, shady PWA employes, code chiselers, kickback operators, and would-be grafters. Some of them suggest that the Glavis-Burlew battle is not over, that it is too bitter to be buried by the detective’s departure, and that “Lou always gets his man. The recent period of embarrassment has been partly due to the fact that Glavis knows so much about the ad- ministration and partly due to the; fact that the White House crowd likes his work. Glavis sat in his office for weeks after his enemies expected him to leave, apparently waiting for another appointment which would satisfy him. He and his staff have infiltrated through a large part of the adminis- tration, encountering many interesting facts here and there. It has been suggested that he might cause the administration an enormous amount of embarrassment in the campaign were he so minded, and that thought hes not been ignored by Ickes. ee k Ickes Unlikely to Go However, Roosevelt has sometimes used Glavis for secret investigations and feels he can use him some more. ‘The White House continues to be sour on Burlew, which appears to be a large reason behind rumors of a likely shakeup in the department after elec- tion, involving the possible departure of Ickes himself. These rumors should be discounted, because Ickes will be used in the campaign and Roosevelt is still fond of him off and on, So, for one reason and another and yy special arrangement, Glavis will as special coun- ael or chief investigator for the senate committee, instead of the $3,600 which linger affair, the Teapot Dome scan- dal, the Hearst “Mexican documents” expose, the “power trust” investiga- Ku Klux Klan investigation, and lebre—will worth | Fisher, new president. Campaign (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) Washington, July 20.— Father Coughlin’s use of the term “liar and betrayer” in referring to President Roosevelt will probably come as some- what of a shock to most people who are accustomed to speaking, publicly at least, in more restrained words about candidates for political office. But Father Coughlin was address- ing a political convention and was Presumably speaking as a citizen in a political contest, and not as a member of the clergy. Somehow or other, the word “liar” has become an integral part of political campaigning and may be said to be a permanent part of the political vocabulary of the day. Thus, President Roosevelt, on May 14, 1935, in a speech to @ farmers’ con- vention which gathered on the White House lawn, sald: “As you know, a great many of the high and mighty—with special axes to grind—have been deliberately try- ing to mislead the people who know nothing of farming by misrepresent- ing—no—why use a pussyfoot word? —by lying about the kind of farm Program which this nation is operat- ing today.” The president was characterizing critics of the AAA program and the definition of a lie, as given by Web- Ster's Dictionary, is as follows: “1. A falsehood uttered acted for the purpose of deception; an in- tentional statement of an untruth de- signed to mislead another. The use of the word ‘lie’ usually implies moral censure and a charge of intention to Looking at the ,,., affect wrongfully the acts, opinions, or affections of another. “2. Liar—a person who knowingly utters @ falsehood; one who lies.” Now, in political debate in the past, President Roosevelt had a precedent for describing those who disagreed with him as lying. It will be recalled that President Theodore Roosevelt created what he called the Ananias club, which is described by F. L. Pax- na in his recent history of the United tates: “The political method of President Theodore Roosevelt was swift and ef- fective. Again and again he defended himself by denying the correctness of statements of his associates. His de- nunciation of Judge Parker in 1904 was a typical instance. E. H. Harriman was the cartoonist derived much pleasure from their literary creation, the admitted until the president had openly called him a liar.” Now Father Coughlin might havé used some of the pussyfoot words which are, of course, frequently em- ‘Ananias club,’ into which no man was! of an unusual spectacle. If David Lawrence least did not do so with intention to deceive. The question of how far deception may be excused on the ground of poli- tical justification is one that will be answered differently, depending on whether it is in erally. rather strongly to the idea that there is no different code in private life than in public life, that hy and misrepresentation and “incon- sistency” of speech are as much to be deplored when prompted by desires of political e: as when made in reckless-statement by private per- sons, As for Father Coughlin, he it have used ® pussyfoot word snd 48: ceived less criticism. Somehow, a member of the cloth out positively in just the same way that lathe eee some Publican had used the word “lie” in charging the New Deal candidate with inconsistency, probably the inci- dent would have attracted little, if ployed in political discussion when op- ponents are accused of being “in- consistent” or at least of saying “con- tradictory” things. Thus, Mr. Roose- velt's record of public statements on many questions would appear in some respects to be inconsistent, and, when the term is used, the public at least gets the impression that perhaps there is some explanation for the incon- sistency and that the man who has made the inconsistent statements at any, attention. Father Coughlin, by reason of his dual position as clergy- mani and political orator, will un- doubtedly be criticized as having been indiscreet, though his friends will doubtless say that he had as much Tight to discuss the personality and sincerity of a candidate for high of- fice as any other citizen.

If you laymen knew how muoh satisfaction a doctor gets out of perpetrating such imposing terms you would forgive me for it. Anoxemis means insufficient oxygen in the blood supply; myocardium means the muscle of the heart. An individual with one disease or another which impairs nutrition, lowers the efficiency of the circulation, depresses the metabolism (the rate of combustion or oxidation in the body), or places increased demands on these, may get on fairly comfortably until some unusual exertion or emotion sud- denly increases the demand on available energy made by the heart muscle, and if the demand cannot be met, an attack of angina occurs. i » work play, active use of the muscles, is the antidote for the controlled emotions. It is the spectator’s arteries and heart, not the player’s that must bear the brunt of an exciting football If the spectator gets a reasonable amount of exercise, in the form of Play every day, he can take it.

But it causes increased absorption of oxygen, improved metabolism, better oxidation in the of the body, more efficient circu- lation, and therefore tends to prevent attacks of angina pectoris. So does rolling somersaults, a dozen to several dozen daily. Now I do not advise decrepit invalids to attempt to roll somersaults if they have not attempted anything so lifelike for many years. But I do believe it is an ex- cellent habit for every man or woman, particularly one of sedentary life, to get up and roll a few on the floor several times a day, right in the middle of whatever vexing problem or difficulty one may be grappling with at the moment.
