Bewspaper and e local All rights of republication of Trends of Democracy No observer doubts that the long-time trend in this coun- try is toward placing more and more power directly in the hands of the people. The record on that.is too clear to permit argu- ment. : This has brought a number of changes in America which we are pleased to call progress but it also presents new dangers which must be met by the patriotism and intelligence of the people. Speaking on “Industrial Democracy” the other day, Newton D. Baker brought up this point when he said: “Mr. Elihu Root wrote for the first number of Foreign Affaira, & magazine, some ten or twelve years ago, a paper in which he de- scribed diplomacy in a democracy. He pointed out that there was manifested throughout the world a seething, rising tide of demand on the part of the people that they should at least be the final resi- dence of power, and he contrasted the task of diplomacy under old conditions with diplomacy under conditions as they then were, and as he foresaw they would be, saying that when, aforetime, diplomats controlled international affairs, the thing we had to fear was sinister purpose; and that under modern conditions, when popular control of international affairs was being. asserted, when the people of a nation undertook to intervene and control its public affairs, the thing they had to fear was opinions formed on half information.” The moral is plain enough. Unless the people would do themselves harm by falling for every hairbrained scheme which may be presented they must inform themselves—and think deeply and soundly. Little Cloud on Horizon Few Americans receive copies of the National Voice, new dry magazine. Fewer still subscribe to it. But to the liquor trade it is the little cloud on the far horizon because it is sounding, oh, so faintly, the tocsin of pro- hibition once more. e It notes that at a recent election in Georgia the dry ma- jority was “34 times what it was in an election in that state two years ago.” The reason is alleged to be a “public revulsion to present-day liquor conditions,” even though Georgia hasn’t had legal liquor, the Crackers contenting themselves with the pop-skull variety current in those parts.. The publication also asserts that “temperance forces throughout the nation are today filling up their long depleted ranks with a fervent new enthusiasm.” The answer, in so far as the liquor and brewing industries are concerned, is scrupulous observance of the law themselves and co-operation with public officials to see that others obey it. Any other course may cause the cloud to grow into a storm which they can ill afford. Light Under a Bushel Businessmen are so busy making money that they often fail to present themselves in a proper light to the public at large. i Just because public opinion set back John Lewis and his steel strikers doesn’t mean that America applauds such men as Tom Girdler, the steel tycoon. They don’t care for Lewis and his tactics but they don’t care much for such fellows as Girdler either. The reason is that Girdler doesn’t put up a good front to the people, probably doesn’t care what they think. Business has been too long like that. Too often it has been There has been some of that, to be sure, but there is no reason why this small fact should blind America to the truth that business is, on the whole, enlightened and socially progressive. Take the child labor question for example. Big industry is supposed to oppose it because it wants to make money from the labor of little children. The fact is that the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, biggest of the Big Business organizations, ison record against child labor. The only trouble is that a good many members are not aware of this fact. Or if they are they don’t care. > Highway Progress The world now has 9,900,000 miles of improved highway and the forecast is freely made that the next decade will see the greatest advances in history. All nations are spending money on roads, some with an eye to military strategy and others merely for social and economic reasons, as is the case in this country. ; The record now being made everywhere is an interesting one, from the fact that the road from Hudson Bay to the tip of South America will soon be complete to the fact that better ing roads are causing fewer Chinese to die of famine, But the prospect is that about the time we get our road tystem really developed the world will pretty much abandon the use of roads and take to the air. That’s progress, _ Contrast While the navy searches in the South Pacific for Amelia Earhart, two huge planes, one British and one American, cross the Atlantic on scheduled flight. Each flew without mishap, the forerunner of a regular service. These two cases illustrate the difference between flying asa business and flying for a thrill.

When they start for a place they are pretty sure to get there. ** The difference between sound organization, backed by plenty of money, and personal daring is the difference between such boats and the Pan-American flying regularly across the Behind Scenes Washington State De: t Solves Problem of What to Do About Dingy U. 8. Embassies Abroad ... Just Send Joe and Mrs. Davies From Post te Post ... Garner Keeps Rich Tax Avold- ers at Home . ... Short Weights De- cide Tax on Chains, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 7.—The question of what to do about dingy, unprepos- sessing American embassies abroad would seem to be practically solved. ‘The idea around the state depart- ment, at least, is that you just keep transferring Ambassador Joe Davies from post to post. Or, to be more specific, you transfer the wealthy former Marjorie Post—whom Joe re- cently married—from post to post. Perhaps the way the boys at the department feel about the problem is best indicated by recalling the time when Davies, just appointed to bis present ambassadorship at Moscow, asked Roosevelt what ought to be done about the Russian debt, and the president wisecracked back the sug- gestion that Mr. and Mrs. Davies as- sume it. y The old embassy at Moscow was treated to new bathtubs, plumbing, air-cooling and various other renova- tions when Ambassador and Mrs. Da- vies moved into it. The simple Rus- sians were aghast at the display, ac- cording to cablegrams. It was understood at the time that those twain would not stay in Russia long, but would be transferred to a livelier European capital. Right now the gossip about Mr. and Mrs. Davies emphasizes Berlin. The American embassy at Berlin, it is pointed out, is or should be, the old Bluecher palace. It has one of the best locations in the city and this government paid $1,700,000 for it. Un- fortunately, fire destroyed the entire interior about the time of the pur- chase. Ambassador Dodd lives in a rented house. But, as they point out that interior offers a splendid oppor- tunity for ambassador and Mrs. Davies, x ek 8 in whispers at the state department, | Off the Coast of Spain They Can Thank Garner The wealthy men recently named as tax avoiders can thank Vice Presi- dent. Jack Garner that they haven't been paraded down here before the joint tax evasion committee which has been hearing the treasury officials tell how it’s done and who does it. Certain forces within the adminis- tration—including, perhaps, Roosevel| himself—had fondled the idea that the “culprits” should be subpenaed and asked to explain their tax returns. This would have been in line with of soaking the rich and sharing the wealth. But one of the last things Garner did before leaving town was to ap- point the senatorial wing of the com- mittee from among the oldest mem- bers, in point of service, of the finance committee, which meant the most conservative members such as King of Utah, Glass of Virginia, Harrison of Mississippi and George of Georgia. LaFollette of Wisconsin went on be- cause he happened to be the finance committee’s highest ranking minority member. Most house appointees also were conservative. The result was that the committee decided it wouldn’t call witnesses, ex- cept for the treasury officials and the hearings have been quite tame. “Garner's last act of sabotage,” say some of the siepuated New Dealers, * % Short Weight at Chains The house of. representatives recent- ly refused to pass which would have imposed an income tax on residents of the District of Columbia—obviously because the law- makers didn’t want to tax their own incomes.

Of the 81 purchases, 68 were found to be short weight, 13 full weight and not one overweight, “There must be some system there,” declared Patman—and the house voted for the chain store tax.

For breakfast, lunches, snacks or square in one end of the kitchen, with an'outlook on garden, will be used, and for more formal dinner parties the li- have two studios. The main studio will be devoted ex- art criticism and appreciation. It will have large windows extending to the height of the ceiling, on one or if possible on two sides, ‘These windows will all open fully and be fitted with screens that up like ordinary window shades on rollers, And the artificial of the culinary studio will be as carefully planned as that of any oth- in the house. ‘The ceiling and upper half of the walls will be finished in white, cream, ivory or light yellow, washable. Indirect lighting will be used throughout Odd House, save places where concentration of light intensity is desired. The glare of visible lights in any room is repellent, whether we realize it or not. On the other hand, the soft, natural radiance of the room illuminated from invisible source is always pleasing and ‘attractive. I am reminded of this by the show window of one merchant on a street ablaze with flashing electric and neon signs. This window literally stops the passing crowd—not a light visible, the display indirectly illuminated is indeed soothing to tired eyes. ‘Attention will be given to the inflow of fresh air through s screened duct from outside to a grating under or back of the cooking range, the inlet being Only sufficient room for the artist to work with convenience will be planned in the culinary studio, The less space without cramping the better. Culinary implements and ware will be copper, iron, aluminum, wood, enamel, stainless steel, tin, china, glazed earthen ware, and some white metal fitments. At Odd House we do not take seriously the fears some gullible cus- tomers have about the use of certain of these kitchen wares. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Soundness of 5! lee ; ‘When is sleep the soundest or best? I mean, is there any basis for the common idea of “beauty sleep” before midnight? (6. L.) Answer—The deepest sleep occurs about an hour after one goes to sleep, Sleep is more shallow from the second to the third hour. From the fourth to the fifth hour it is still more shallow. Then follows another period of deeper sleep—at about the 6th to 7th hour in adults, the 9th to 10th hour in children. It makes no difference whether the sleep is before or after mid- night, daytime or night-time rest, other things being equal. % , Sulphur and Cream of Tartar T have been taking sulphur and cream of tartar for several weeks, but it does not seem to remove the blackheads and pimples.

Is canned fish, such as salmon, crab, tuna, a proper substitute for meat, particularly when meat is used only once a day? (Mrs, G. F. B.) ‘Answer—Fresh fish or shellfish is a good staple to use in place of meat one or more days a week. Canned salmon is a good source of iodin and it is also a good source of Vitamin D.

Second, following his fer- vent appeal the South, the fact that as gov he had sponsored and signed vasious bills designed to promote social equality between whites and Negroes in Pennsylvania was resentfully printed in Southern papers. Third, irritation was mani- fested among Mr. Roosevelt's politi- cal intimates at what they regarded as premature acceptance of the fact that the president will not succeed himself.

The truth, however, is that Mr. Earle's sudden switch from eulogizing himself as a 1940 candi- date to eulogizing the president was not felicitously timed, It came just after he had used his power as gov- .jernor to play the Lewis game in forcing the Bethlehem company to close its plant. It came simultane- ously with the charge of the Johns- town Democrat that “Johnstown mills were closed as a result of a cold- blooded political plot devised solely for the purpose. of saving John L. Lewis’ face.” It came after publica- tion that Mr. Lewis was promoting third-term talk of Mr. Roosevelt. And it accentuates in the public mind the political alliance between Mr. Roose- velt and Mr, Lewis, originally con- tracted through Senator Guffey and in which Mr. Earle plays a part. Upon this alliance largely rests the CIO strength. The more clearly its nature is understood the stronger will be the general resentment. Governor HERE'S THE HILL MADE , FAMOUS BY MR.
