President Roosevelt has pointed out that one out of every three crippled chil- dren in the United States suffers as a re- sult of an attack of infantile paralysis. Himself a victim of the disease, it is par- ticularly fitting that the President’s birth- day is the occasion for a series of nation- wide parties to establish a fund to be used in fighting it. Largely as a result of the contributions made by Americans through the President’s Birthday Ball, the battle is Government. e possible, ; siwaye bons money from a pessimist, who doesn’t expect to get it back.

G. Flint in the: Miami Tri- bune: “Tourists come to Miami to drink and play, 2nd go to Key West to think and stay.” Generally speaking, the in-laws cause more trouble than the out-laws. That is a condition one encvunters everywhere. Envy and jealousy are the roots that cause the evil. A contributor to the Gulf Gleam in the Tampa Tribune by the name of Diehl thinks the authorities shoula not be so much disturbed about Bingo and investi- gate Croquet, which he describes as a wicket game. That’s not a square Deal for Croquet. Doctors in the flooded regions advise all persons to boil their drinking water or, put one drop of iodine in each’ quart of water, to shake well and let stand for five minutes before drinking. That advied |i wholesome and should be heeded by eve! one everywhere. z Kenneth Ballinger says that the magic being waged more efficiently than ever al- and to, a.ngrmal existence. FLOODING GOOD LAND In a recent address a critic of the gov- ernment’s land policy declared that the dams now built or planned under the guise of flood control will permanently flood more good farm land than is ever covered with water during the worst Mississippi valley floods. That is to say that even if the flood control scheme should work successfully, dams would destroy forever more fertile that the whole policy.is a rather futile and wasteful one, as this cost not only includes the expense of building the dams, but also the vast sums paid out of the public treasury for the land to be destroyed through flooding by the artificial lakes created. Another phase of the same wasteful policy is seen in the great irrigation proj- ects in the far west, where the cost of re- claiming arid lands through irrigation runs as high as $600 an acre. The logic of many government ac- tivities is difficult to understand, except as they afford a means of squandering public money supplied by the taxpayers—and this seems to be the principal object our bureaucrats in Washington have in mind. ¢THE KIRST PHONOGRAPH ¥ TQ éee his death, T gbnceived th “producing human speech and other soun on July 18, £877.” Mr. Edison went to say that he work- ed on his first model of the first phono- i ten a few years before dison said: “I had idea of recording and ‘4 Strike Blow At R > mae Fs hive played their part in the nent of achiever recovery.

The automo- bile industry has long been noted as a high wage industry. When the NRA codes were being formulated it was discovered that the standards of wages and hcurs prescribed by the authorities at. Washington were al- ready in effect in the automobile fac- tories.

It is not a question of'collective bargaining for that is a tight which the, employees have had.,'The real question is whether a particular union, seeking to enhance its own prestige and that of its leadefs, has a right, legal or moral, to force em- ployers to bargain witt it only, when it obviously does not represent all the workers.
