The American Federation of Labor, the Committee for Industrial Organ- ization, and the American Farm Bu- reau Federation are fairly certain to be represented, Senator Huey F. Ashurst of Arizona They Had Royal Fun A prominent New Yorker seen in Washington recently told how he had talked to members of a jazz orchestra called “The Yacht Club Boys” in London just after they had played privately for King Edward, Mrs. Simpson, and friends. “Have fun?” he asked. “Fun!” one of the entertainers exclaimed. “For two hours, all he wanted was songs giving the razz- berry to the dukes and the duch- esses!” a sentiment is the only power that can reach and enforce agree- if ment for the establishment of a sound and stable econdmic and i political order.” It has been obvious all along that the big thing needed to deal with organized crime is an aroused and intent public ,. ‘feeling on the question.

During the last two years there kas been no more classic feud than that - between Harry Hopkins of the WPA and Secretary Ickes on behalf of the PWA and the basic argument has been whether More than a million reports, time sheets, material accounts and contracts were analyzed before the experts arrived at this Among other things it shows how important to the stabil- ity of the nation’s business as a whole is activity in the build- i 2 4 Every time a citizen dies and leaves life insurance to his lau, __ beneficiaries the public multiplies the amount of his insurance ad by at least two, in the opinion of many insurance men who have lat g@ Studied the subject. ray For this reason the companies keep records on big insur- lare ance policies and big insurance estates.

The total of insurance carried probably runs well into the millions but the small policies play a larger part in it than do the big ones. That is why the insurance business is one of the finest and most stable in the country. It isn’t supported primarily by the big people but by the little ones. They understand it, approve t and help it to render outstanding service both to the individual and to the community. f * No Change in Climate Despite the thoughts of laymen who wish it could be other- change the climate. _ This is reiterated in connection with studies made at Lake Mead, created by the erection of Boulder dam on the Colorado river. .

It is generally agreed that Roose- velt has worked out no formula and that he may be guided by the deliber- ations of this conference. The only possible thing that might block the holding of the conference fairly soon would be Roosevelt's deci- sion that it should be postponed. * * * C. I, O. Graves to Be Fired John L. Lewis of the Mine Workers and certain other leaders of the in- éurgent Committee for Industrial Or- ganization were secretly disappointed by the recent convention of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor in Tampa— disappointed because the federation didn’t expel their unions from its ranks. That would have cleared the air, they felt, putting the A. F. of L. in the Position of having busted itself wide open and creating a new national la- bor federation such as most C. I. O. leaders really seek. And the only reason the craft un- fon leaders who run the federation didn’t expel the C. I. O. unions was their realization that expulsion was what Lewis and his friends really wanted, The latter, however, think the craft unions played into their hands by a vote to boycott clothing made by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and by the original resolutions committee report which referred to the Interna- tional Ladies’ Garment Workers (C. I. O.) and other organizations as “composed largely of Jewish workers.” Spectacle of the federation boycoit- ing the one big union in the men’s clothing field appeals to the imagin- ation of the C. I. O. officials of the I, L, G. W., who were having some internal trouble with elements of the union which favored compromise with the A. F. of L., are now making capi- tal of a graceless reference which they describe as anti-Semitic in tendency. The result is that peace-making ef- forts between the two labor factions seem more hopeless and the C. I. O. front more solid than before the Tampa convention.

M. of Mas- sachusetts (who have awards of $15 and $10 respectively if they will agree to this division of the prize). Among the things vite stands for are the highest attainable degree of natural immunity and an adequate fund of reserve power to tide over emergencies and strains, the resilency of the untamed animal or the uncivilised savage, preservation of the characteris- tics of youth and better-than-average nutritional condition. Whether or not vitamin A is essential for building and maintaining immunity against the cri (kree is another new one, but we can't stop now to define it further than to say it covers any and all common respiratory infections from pneumonia to what you) is a question that does not seem to bring a final answer. At present the nutrition authorities assume that an adult who requires 3000 calories a day (a fair ration for a person who works or plays or exercises moderately) should get at least 3000 units of vitamin A. A quart of milk contains 1000 unite of vitamin A (yields 640 calories). The yolk of an egg contains 825 units of vitamin A. Two tablespoonfuls of carrots would supply another 1000 units of vitamin A. A teaspoonful of butter supplies 100 units of vitamin A. Each ounce of tomato or tomato juice (fresh or factory canned), contains 170 units of vitamin A. Pach ounce of liver contains 2800 units; each ounce of American cheese 700 units; each ounce of cream cheese, 1400 units; each ounce of escarole (chicory greens) 6000 units; each ounce of spinach, raw or canned, 1400 units; each ounce of prunes 300 units; each ounce of banane 100 units; each ounce of peas, raw or canned, 175 units; each ounce of dried whole milk contains 500 units of vitamin A; each ounce of evaporated milk contains 140 units of vitamin A, It does not seem likely that anyone whose diet is not radically or irrationally restricted should get insufficient vitamin A, However, one of the effects of a large deficit of vitamin A is night blindness, and Dr. Akroyd, in his book on Vitamins (Heinemann. London, ’33) says he has sométimes given Newfoundland fishermen, victims of night-blindness, & single tablespoonful of cod liver oll, with the gratifying result that they were able to see on the subsequent night. Halibut liver oil (or other fish liver ofl) is the richest known source of vitamin A, having from 2000 to 2500 units per teaspoonful.

But first let me write my note and pin it to my coat, then you mey start.” “Eleanor, don’t!"’ Darrow begged. “Yes, only a few words to Emery in case!” “Damn Emery! This is all his work!"” “Stop, Will! You do not under- stand, neither does he.

It is only eleven o'clock and in‘ all the time since the lights went out we have come only six miles. “Eleven o'clock! for hours, and the children will have had their tree and gone to sleep.

How Darrow longed to hold Ele: nor close, to comfort her if po: sible, but the knowledge that noth- ing mattered or ever would matter if he could but»get her to safety unharmed, forbade all other thoughts.

With the searching electric light full upon her, she stood waiting for him. -Very white she looked, white of face and whiter yet of soul, to the man who stood gazing up at her. “Before we see people you must ie said, resting a hand upon each shoulder. “I do not blame you, and I am both glad and sorry, because I understand!

What is it?” Again Eleanor shivered, a pitifut little smile hung on her lip corners and then dropped away; she shook her head slowly, as if to say that this longed-for wish was further off than ever. “Yes, you may ask, Will, and I will answer, for it is your right, My Heart’s Desire is that Emery, may understand me before it is too late.

But now—now I fear it is too late,” and Eleanor knocked at the door without again turning. A dog bayed inside the forge. The knock was repeated twice before the door opened, Eleanor did not see by whom, for two little figures in stocking feet sprang forward clinging to her neck as Tommy, who found his tongue first, whispered, “We've found the Christ-baby and he's over there asleep on Mary's arm, so we mustn’t make a noise, and, mother dear, won't you please get grandmother to invite them to stay with us and dinner, use it's here, and I think Joseph looks dreadfully hungry. “Why, there’s Uncle Will, I must ‘tell him too, so’s he won't spoil the surprise until father comes and. we light’the tree.
