WHAT'S GOING
ON IN THE WORLD
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

It may look as if the Republican
convention this month will be pref
ty tame, because it's practically Ger
tain whom the presidential nominee
will be. But if the insurgents turn
down the conventions choice it will
be more important than the Bull
Moose movement in 1912, because
a third ticket this time is liable to
shake the old parties to pieces.

JAPAN

Tokyo's protest against the ex-
clusion of Japanese immigrants
from America is simply a way OF
keeping the record straight. Japan
doesn't expect the United States to
do anything about it. Probably the
first step the Japanese will take
toward getting even" win be in
the direction Of keeping Americo n
goods, as far as possible, not only
out of Japan, but out of the Far
East generally boycott, where
ever it can be made effective.

BROADWAY

The lure of Broadway is interfer-
ing with factories at the outskirts
of New York City. Workers want
Jops near the Gay White Way. Some
are reported to have quit the fac
tories because they got bored dur
ing lunch hour. A different sort Of
Job near Broadway may pay less.
Tut it's closer to excitement and
gayety.
This is human nature, and it is
the thing that is preventing a gene
raj exodus of factories and mills
from large cities to small towns.
What percentage of the population
employers as well as employed
is more intent on a good time than
old-fashioned work?

ANOTHER NUISANCE

The radicals also want commit
tee to sit during the entire pr.
election period to Investigate cam
paign contributions, just as they
come in. The old party managers
don't like this. If nothing worse
it will be a bother, forcing them to
be extremely particular about every
cent that goes into their treasures

HEINIE

The Germans are getting ready
Tor something. just what, isn't
clear. But the government centered
in Berlin is spending less than it's
collecting in taxes and so on-sar-
ing as much as five million dollars
"a week.
This results from the 20 per cert
increase in taxes.
The European situation begins to
look more promising, with money
.piling up in Germany for repara-
tions. Or win it be used for that?

BUGS

German farmers are less interest
ed in reparations and finance than
lin the potato bug which is march
ing from France to invade their
fields. Quarantine is being estab-
.lished along the border It's charged
that the A. f. f. brought the potato
bug into France. That is not inn
probable. 1t might have been by
way of revenge for French coolies.
The potato crop is the handspring
of German agriculture. Quite
naturally, Heinie is more worried
about the potato bug than our
south about the boil weevil.

COTTON

The available supply of cotton
favors the southern grower. Traders
in New Orleans estimate that She
cotton carry-over at the end Of the
season, July 81, will be between
/, 100000 and 100000 bales. The
carry-oyer on the same date in 1928
was 2,573,00O bales.
And the price end of the law of
supply and demand works "a hours

WAGES
England is working more, unde
the labor government. She RS
about a million unemployed. But
this is a quarter million fewer than
at the beginning Of the year.
What's equally important to the
English dinner-pail carrier is that
the cost Of living over there is only
70 per cent higher than before the
war. In our country, living costs
are more than twice as high as in
I1914, despite lower estimates by cor
Iporation statisticians and others.
Wages, by the way, in the basic
English industries rise or fall as the
! cost of living goes up and down
Organized labor takes care Of that

dent body in this city. Some one aptly classed it "a classic thrill"
 New CntraltO In Birmingham.
 A recent addition to the musicians of Birmingham is Mrs. Jane Stuart Merz, contralto singer and voice teacher, for merly of Chicago. Mrs. Merz has done church and concert work in Chicago and toured the middle west with a Lyceum quartet under the management of the Fine Arts Bureau of Chicago. Ar irving in Birmingham last February, Mrs. Merz remained in this city until June, when she accompanied her hus- band to New York for the summer. While there she devoted her time to the study of voice under William Stickles, well known voice instructor and com poser. He was the teacher of Caro- line Lazzari, who sang here last win ter with the St. Louis Symphony Or chester. Mrs. Merz will open a studio for voice in Birmingham.
 Music Study Club.
 Activities of the Birmingham Music Study club will begin with the last of thls month. The choral board met on Tuesday morning of the past week, and discussed plans for the coming sea- son. It was definitely decided to have a mixed chorus this year, instead of the Treble Clef chorus. This mixed chorus will rehearse at night, with Mrs. Gussen as director. The board de- cided that it would not be necessary for the chorus members to join the Music Study club.
 Junior Music Study Club.
 Ine Junior section of the Music Study club promises to be very active this winter. Mrs. Carol Wilson Luke has been appointed chairman of the juniors, and special meeting will be held at her home on Monday afternoon, at 4 o'clock. All interested Juniors are urged to be present, as plans for the winter will be discussed. A young artists concert course is one of the features of the coming season, and a very attractive one. There will be memory contests, and a study course. and programs by the members will be arranged. The meetings will be held at the homes of the members.

REMOVING WRINKLES

E. NJ. writes: I am 3S years old and until last year I have looked no more than 25; really don't yet, with the exception of my throat, which seems to wrinkle so from chin to base of neck. I use a facial soap with warm water, rinse with cold and about twice a week used a patented face cream, followed by cold water. For a while during the winter I used the cream every day and my neck seemed to get more flabby. The last month or two I have been using cold salt water after the cream and to wash in mornings. Please tell me what to do. Perhaps good astringent is what I need. What do you think of ben zoin and how should it be used? Is 1t the benzoin compound one should use? What do you think of egg whites for the face?
 Answer.-Unfortunately, very little can be accomplished for the ravages of age. The surgical technique of lift ing" the skin of the face is attended by very unfortunate results in many cases. Massage will accomplish very little for wrinkles. Benzoin preparations are of value to protect the skin in the winter, Egg whites probably would be of no value.

Popular Health Advice
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Soft Finger Nails.

E. R. F. writes: My finger nails have been very soft for years, but re- gently they have become much worse. There seems to be wave or ripple in the nail and about a quarter of the way down from the top the nail>will begin to bend back and crack; finally it grows away from the tissue. How can I remedy this condition?
 Answer-Nail disturbances of the type described are not uncommon. Oc- casionally the condition is due to a ringworm infection of the nail bed. In case such source should be determined, it would be necessary, of course, to treat the underlying infection.
 If no local cause for the condition is discoverable, 1t would be advisable to keep the nails in more pliable condi. tion by amounting them frequently with petrolatum, or similar non-irritatins oily preparation. Occasionally this is all that is necessary to prevent Assuring or splitting of nails.

sACCHARIN

M. G. asks: l am writing for in- formation concerning the use of sac charin. Can it be combined in any way with fruit, or fruit juices, in mak- ing jelly, butter or preserves for dia- bette cases where sugar is not allowed
 Answer.-Saccharin is chemical used as a substitute for sugar only when suger is used as a sweetener; it is about 300 times sweeter to the taste than sugar. It cannot be used in place of sugar in jelly or preserves as the sugar must be present in large quan- titles to give the correct "body" to the product. (Fhe exception to this is in the case of fruit containing a rela- lively large percentage of sugar, as ap- pie, the juice of which can be boiled to consistency of a jelly and will con- tain about 45 per cent or more sugar.)
 Saccharin is used in diabetic diet when it is desired to eliminate the use of sugar, as in coffe, ore as a sweetener for cakes made from casein or other substances containing no or little carbo- hydrate. In fact, fruit and fruit juices themselves must be used carefully by the diabetic who is watching his intake of sugar. Her physician should pre- scribe diet for the patient suitable to the severity of the disease.
