Industrial Progress To the academic observer, free from hate and prejudice, | it has long seemed that only by cooperation between the various elements of our national life can the nation reach the heights which our resources make possible. Thus in the field of relations between capital and labor it has often seemed that both sides were defeating not only their own ends but those of our national well-being by engaging in| strife which has seemed utterly senseless. On one hand it has often appeared that employers have abandoned the idea of responsibility to their employes, regard- ing them merely as cogs in a machine to be discarded or replaced at will. On the other there has been ample reason to believe that labor has abandoned the obligation of responsibility to employers, sneering at the spirit of cooperation as one beneath its dignity. Where such “dog-eat-dog” attitude has prevailed both labor, capital and the public have suffered and no one has bene- fited except the powers of industrial darkness which chuckle in wicked glee whenever men make fools of themselves. But slowly and surely progress is being made, as witness the record of the automobile industry, in which stability of em- ployment during the last year has contributed heavily to the welfare of both employer and employe. Even during July, when several big plants had closed down for re-tooling, employment remained at a high figure. Sca- sonal peaks have been ironed out by new management practices and everyone benefits. It all traces back to the change in the time in which new models are introduced. These now appear in the early winter and during the period when many factory hands formerly were idle they now are busy producing motor cars for sale in the spring. The lulls in employment which formerly meant the workman stayed at home with a thin pay check now are reduced by the advance manufacture of inventories and sub-assemblies for use when the demand grows heavier. This is cooperation of a very real sort, for stability of em- ployment is as important to both capital and labor as the rates of wages which so often cause heated controversy. The One Sure Thing When a group of boys engages in an activity such as junior baseball, those in charge of it can be sure of only one thing, and that is their inability to forecast what will happen. Few know this better than Ralph Reed, athletic director at Franklin high school in Seattle and coach of the American Le- gion junior team which represented that city in the sectional tournament which ended here Tuesday. For example Reed pointed to the unfortunate incident in which the Seattle catcher roll-blocked a South Dakota player as he approached the plate in the semi-final game between Seattle and Pierre, S. D. Reed was the most surprised man in the ball park because, of all the boys on his club the catcher was about the last one from whom he would normally have expected such an action. “Kids do funny things under pressure, particularly if they have a highly competitive spirit,” remarked the Seattle man. “There are some boys from whom you expect such things. But when that kid pulled a stunt like that you could have knocked me over with a feather. “Ordinarily he is a calfish, moon-faced sort of kid without too much competitive spirit. I have him in football and when he has been stung a little I have seen the tears come to his eyes. For a kid of that type to go crazy in that way was as surprising a thing as I have seen. No one regrets it more than I do.” All of which merely goes to show the necessity for pro- grams such as that sponsored annually by the American Legion. For self-control under fire is one of the rewards of sport which comes to victor and vanquished alike and which gives them an edge on boys who lack this experience when they engage in the competitive battle of life. Direct Campaign Help These are the “campaign assessment” days, when political appointees must contribute to keep their parties in power, and themselves in jobs. According to Michigan’s civil service study commission “hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ dollars” are collected in campaign years from state employes who, on the whole, are underpaid. What to do about it? Well, the Michigan commission sug- gests that as long as the taxpayer foots the bill anyhow, the states might “openly and frankly” appropriate a iti for each party for campaign purposes. At least, the commission argues, it would be an honest pro- cedure. And that is more than can be said for the present spoils system!

Roosevelt Moves Are Pelttica!, Though Labeled Non-Po- litical... Fight of Third Party More and More Centered Against Dem- ocrats. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug. 26.—Three fac- tors seem to stand out among current campaign developments: 1. Gov. Alf M. Landon’s trip into the east is likely to be a crucial test of his ability to woo voters. 2. President Roosevelt's words and actions, described officially as “non- political,” are nearly all political, in both effect and intent. 3. The Lemke candidacy takes on an increasingly anti-Roosevelt as- pect, again, in both effect and intent, with a definite possibility that it may throw the election to Landon in case there is a close finish in the electoral | college. Concern over the Landon campaign is being expressed by some of the governor's best friends, who think he has been the victim of bad advice and has failed to present himself to the public as the able and honest man they believe he is. Well aware that the Republicans’ chief danger now is the possibility that Democrats may convince many previously undecided voters that Lan- don is not “big enough” for the White House, the governor's supporters feel that his failure to “sell himself” on the eastern trip would be likely to be the turning point of the campaign. * * * Want Landon to “Speak Out” Landon, they explain, has done himself an injustice through his fail- ure to present a strong, constructive program of his own instead of relying on popular reaction against Roosevelt vo elect him. If the governor were to speak out publicly with the frankness he uses in private conversation, they insist, he would be a stronger candidate. Chairman John Hamilton and the wealthy eastern Repubiicans who work closely with him are blamed for the campaign strategy to date. There is a chance, however, that Landon has by now decided to change tactics and speak both more forthrightly and less ccnservatively. His friends point out that he is Shrewd and need not be expected to follow any line of campaign which he feels isn’t producing the best possible results. The theory of Hamilton and the eastern big fellows in keeping Landon under wraps is that anti-New Deal veaction to date, plus a high-powered and expensive campaign to scare voters away from the New Deal, will be enough to win the day. Much may depend on the effective- ness of that campaign, which is get- ting under way, although Landon’s liberal friends think it's more im- Poriant that he make a strong appeal to many middle-of-the-road or mildly liberal voters who haven't yet made up their minds. ** * ‘No Politics’ Pretense Is Thin’ Meanwhile, the White House pre- tense that Roosevelt's movements and words are “non-political” may be smart stuff, but easy to see through. Anyone who knows politics can tell, ‘without being a mind reader, that the president's mind is constantly on the campaign. It isn’t hard to believe that his an- nounced intention to stick around the east so as to be close to the threaten- ing European situation is so much Stage play. It looks, in fact, just like one more act in the program of dramatization of Roosevelt as a great statesman, ever alert, qualified to handle great international problems and intent on keeping us out of war. Roosevelt's visit to the governor- general of Canada, his use of French in @ speech, his constantly expressed interest in affairs abroad, and his pointed Chautauqua speech may be s.milarly considered. The fact that modern communica- tion facilities at the disposal of a president allow him to keep in as close touch with the Spanish rebellion from St. Louis as from Washington is too obvious to be overlooked. * % * Center Fire on Roosevelt It has become clear, meanwhile, that the motto of the Union Party might properly be “We Hate Roose- velt.” The four leaders of the party —Lemke, Father Coughlin, Dr. Town- send and Gerald Smith—have that in common. Presumably they all know as every- one else does, that they are taking far more votes from Roosevelt than from Landon. It is commonly believed that the Union Party has received or will receive money from sources seeking Landon’s election. And the four must be quite aware that the only possible constructive or destructive thing they can do this year is to take enough votes away from Roosevelt in one or more states to give Lemke a plurality. The possibility that Lemke, Cough- lin, Townsend and Smith may elect Landon will have to be kept in mind es long as one admits that the elec- tion is likely to be close. ‘Copyright, 1936, NEA Service.

Twenty-seven years ago, this son of a French manufacturer, already a wealthy engineer and inventor, took the throttle in a crate-like machine that few would dare fly today, and crossed the English channel from Calais to Dover. It was a feat as daring and as historic in 1909 as was Lindbergh's lone crossing of the Atlantic_in 1927. Bleriot started building and fly- ing airplanes in 1906. First by chort-hops. then by longer cross- countsy fiights, he distinguished himself in Europe as equally as did the Wright brothers in Amer- ica. Then, on July 25, 1909, with a French destroyer assigned to “pace” him. he left Calais, out- distanced the warship, and reached Dover, England, a dis- tance of 23.5 miles. in 38 minutes.

Ann goes NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER III ON the way to Lake Racine Ann felt that adventure was in the air. What was to happen next? She was alone, and the sight of pleasant woeds and broad fields made her forget the broiling streets of the city she had left be- hind. A record heat wave was in progress, but already, only a few hours out, she could feel cooling breezes. Rather she sensed the * 00! mountain air of Lake Racine, which lay ahead of her, like a glistening blue jewel in the midst of soaring green mountains. She thought of the vacation presents, snugly wrapped, in her luggage. She thought of the smil- ing faces that had seen her off at the station; of her roommate, Alice, who was at the seashore; of the girls in the office who were awaiting their turns at taking va- cations. There was Bill Ware who, at the last minute, had turned up at the station to say goodby. ‘The business details of the trip had cemented her friendship with Bill and she had had two dates with him. Once they had gone up the river on the bus with the other heat-ridden people, looking for some cool air, Another time they had taken the excursion boat on the river. Bill was a good sort, she thought idly. But then she thought of her new nile green bathing suit, of the eve- ning dress—a_ cardinal’s. red— which she had picked up at a Tuesday morning sale for almost nothing.

A FENCE AND A LIGHT ON THE CLIFF A fabulous city was built on a high hill. One side of the hill was a sheer... cliff with a drop of hundreds of feet. People unfamiliar with the situation - fell over the cliff on dark nights and were killed or badly injured. Tne peoplesof the city didn't mind, as most of the victims were strangers any- way. They kept tally of the number of victims and the people were vain ; about it. ‘ ; But after thé*cliff had claimed a thousand victims there was little in- terest. 6h with it. So a drive was launched to raise funds and pre- sently ple built 4 first class hospital at the bottom of the cliff, with sribulatiowberrice and everything to take care of the victims as they tumbled over. They felt that this solved the problem. To be sure, some radicals ‘ had asked why not erect a strong fence at the top of the cliff and install a few electric lights, and so prevent any more careless or confused strangers from falling over? This idea was frowned down by the people. A while ago the Health Commissioner of a great Eastern State attempt- ed to put a light out there on the cliff. But the broadcasting company, owners of the air, would not allow him to mention syphilis in a health ad- dress he had been asked to give on the radio. Strange how prudish we are about this, when one out of every ten per- i” sons in the country has or has had syphilis. Most infections with syphilis oc- cur in young men and young women from 15 to 30 years of age. Sixty out of each hundred persons with syphilis are men and forty are women. Ten of the hundred were born with the disease. Five out of a hundred persons with syphilis contracted it innocently, through ordinary contact. Syphilis is found in all classes, people of wealth, social standing, intelligence and morals. Sons and daughters of the best families may contract syphilis or marry into it. it. Syphilis can be cured by prompt and vigorous treatment. It can be arrested in nearly every case. Proper recognition and treatment of the dis- ease is one of the most powerful weapons in protecting the public from syphilis. But what is needed most is a fence at the top of the cliff and sufficient. light on the situation to save strangers from 4umbling over to their doom. Sex education and sex hygiene, instruction by qualified teachers—instead of: sex appeal and the sorry teaching to which we leave our children today. A representative siate health department receives reports of about 6000 cases of gonorrhea in a year, and estimates that only about a quarter of the cases are reported. The great majority of women who have gonorrhea are the innocent victims of disease acquired after marriage. Their husbands thought themselves to be cured before they married. This accounts for a large number of operations for “pus tubes,” “pelvic peritonitis” etc., and ex- plains a great deal of sterility or one-child sterility. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Don't Fash Yourself = Contrary to the usual experience of arthritis sufferers, I perspire easily and copiously, and have always done so. If one sweated out “poisons” I ought to be lily-pure by now... (Mrs. M. C.) Answer—Physiology doesn’ t teach that poisons or waste matters are ex- creted or eliminated in the sweat. That is a notion which charlatans use to bemuse wiseacre prospects. Send a 3-cent-stamped envelope bearing Ent address and ask for monograph on Arthritis. Or inclose ten cents coin for booklet, “The Ils Called Rheumatism.” Yawning I yawn continuously all day. It isn’t from loss of sleep as I generally get eight hours. How can I stop it? . . . (E.8.) Answer—If you're under thirty you probably need nine hours of sleep every night. No “making up” for lost sleep. If you are accumulating a little slacker flesh, you should follow a corrective, protective regimen, as described in detail in booklet “The Regeneration Regimen,” for which send ten cents coin and 3-cent-stamped envelop bearing your address. Mean- while you should start taking an iodin ration and absorbing oxygen at the rate of from three to six miles or more daily—on the hoof. gE EES nee 5 coer Evervthing was glamorous and still and beautiful.

We have a good time, just ourselves.” Ann said pleasantly, “I'll bet you do!” but her thoughts were far from complacent. When they drove up in front of the little mountain inn, the porter took her bags in. Ann reg- istered, and then took a quick turn about the lobby and game room, scanning the faces eagerly. With a feeling close to panic again, she recognized none of the pretty girls. And not a single man was to be seen! It was some comfort when the hostess at the lodge came to greet her. Aimee was the same pleasant Person Ann had known three years before, and talking to her was like greeting an old friend. There was an air of camaraderie about Aimee as she introduced Ann to some of the other girls. eee FTER dinner Ann wandered, alone, down to the boathouse, where she had spent many ro- mantic moments three years be- fore. The moon was shining down on the water. It was a night filled with en- chantment, as are all first nights in the mountains after a year spent in the teeming city. There were faint rippling waves on the lake, Everything was so glamor- ous and still and beautiful, so dif- ferent from the noise and heat and dirt of the city. It was fantastic, unreal. It sent Ann’s spirits soar- ing again, though at her heart was the gnawing sensation of loneli- ness. Out there on the water were young couples in canoes.

She didn't feel so alone.
