That, if not entirely true, is at least the gist of all public declarations as to aim and principle made by industry, labor, the church, political leaders and all other elements in the diversi- fied and diverting national scene. What do good people want? Well, how’s this for a declara- tion? herein. d, “Better living, better housing, more of the necessities, comforts and luxuries of life, steadier work, more cer- tainty of a job, more security for old age, economic security, no child labor and no sweatshops, peace and a generally higher standard for human affairs.” Those principles might have been enunciated by a social- welfare group or a labor conference, but they weren't. They are the considered opinion of the National Association of Manu- facturers, put into words at their 41st annual convention held earlier this month in New York. In view of the fact that all responsible elements want the same thing for America—at least ostensibly—why is it that we have the conflicts and the internal warrings which are every- where apparent? a The answer is that they cannot agree upon the method and ai least two of our important elements in American life—indus- try and labor—are not wholly sincere. Industry wants these things, to be sure, but in many cases | it wants increased profits and a greatly improved status for the leaders of industry even more. Labor wants them, too, but it also wants advantages over other men and its leaders sometimes seek increased profit and power. Politicians want them, also, but not enough to take any decisive steps looking toward their achievement; not enough to make an unbiased study of the facts and to throw the weight of the government into the battle in accord with those facts. But this is as it should be and not at all alarming. It is merely human nature at work and that, after all, is what we have to deal with. Tf one were to see the spectacle of industry submitting to the demands of labor without a show of coercion and without any pressure being exerted, it would be no more miraculous than the spectacle of labor failing to make demands for its own edvancement whenever it thought the time was ripe. If industrial barons and financiers over-reach themselves they are no more to be condemned than are evidences of the same tendencies by labor leaders, politicians and others. After all, they are only human beings. There’s many a slip twixt the cup of intention and the lip of achievement but that, too, is unimportant. The noteworthy thing is that all elements in American life are beginning to think in terms of advancement for the nation #s a whole. That they are at least taking the trouble to cloak selfishness where it exists in too great a quantity. Continued long enough, we might even achieve in this country that great body of selfless patriotism which it so sorely needs; which will make service to the nation an important con- sideration in our daily lives; which will, without sacrificing anything of value we now have, lift this country to a plane of common understanding and a destiny greater than any we now dream of. 8,000 Biessings Announcement by the state health department that 8,000 sanitary privies, all neatly concreted, protected from flies and boarded up against winter’s chill blasts were built this year in North Dakota, brings to mind the thought that these modest structures really constitute 8,000 blessings to a large number of persons. More than $200,000 was contributed by local organizations | pnd individuals that they might come into being, the money going for lumber, paint, cement and other materials, and the WPA furnishing the labor. The health department asserts that they are “pioneer out- posts ina rural sanitation and health program” and they are. But they are more than that. They are a contribution to more | comfortable living, to an increased appreciation of things aesthetic; an improvement in a standard which long has been much too low. : | who that has felt the icy fingers of chill winter will discoumt | the value of their trim, neatly boarded exteriors, holding back the icy blasts. fl Many women have praised the ex-king for giving up his throne for a woman in an age when @ man usually won't even give up his car seat. if It seems unjust that that Omaha Jad should have no sweat glands, when certain grown-up workers, for instance, don't need them.

There is little chance of legislation which would permit him to declare an embargo against one belligerent nation and not against its enemy, but there is some chance that Roosevelt will ask that embargo provisions be made to apply to civil wars, such as Judging by past performances, Sen- Johnson are likely to make speeches about “Freedom of the seas,” “Net tral rights,” and “National hon¢ denouncing proposals to make belli- gerents buy American products only on a cash and carry basis and de- ploring refusal to provide armed pro- tection for citizens and ships enter- Fi Tariff Power Ends in June The executive power to make reci- procal tariff reduction treaties, under have negotiated pacts with 14 coun- for certain groups fight against ex- tension of the power, but it ts almost certain that Roosevelt will win when The act authorizes the president to reduce tariff rates of the Smoot- j BARBS They reach the peak of sanitary benefit in the summer but e tribute more toys, as he was able to sah A kidnaper named Brunette was trapped by G-Men in New York.

So when the crank decides place needs more air he ventilates with a vengeance, and the unregenerate inmates may like it or lump it—the crank rather hopes they'll lump it, for after all it would be discouraging if they were to applaud and yell “Attaboy, Now there is a fair and reasonable compromise in this vexed question of ventilation, which ought to prevail in every office or shop where a number of people work or just hang afourid, Before we propose the compromise, per- haps it would be well to define “fresh air” as nearly as our present knowl- eee rarranle, tie SRE Or ee ester meee neers to ae Penne ute: Fresh air is air that is not too warm, too cold, too dry, stagnant or too drafty. , the depressing .

Answer—Drill holes through edges of fissure out beyond the nail bed and pass strong silk thread through the holes and tie tightly together, using surgical knots, not granny knots. Add another sutute from time to time as the nail grows out. Six months perseverance will stop the splitting. Wear adhesive plaster or other protective covering over the sutures and knots.
