Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL .. COPELANC, WI. I'D.
Former Commissioner Of Health

Everybody wants a clear sAka and
ervies one. tits natural to survey
the face and hands Of a new ac-
q%uaintance. We learn a lot by the
appearance of the skin and the are
given tlIe finger nails and knuckIes.
I could number several persons of
my acquaintance vino seem never
TO clean the finger nails and yet
they would be mortified to death TO
have a breaking out on the chin.
Others have grimy knuckles. but
would stay home 70 avoid showing
a pimple ON the nose.
It is a far more common thing 10
neglect the hands than the face.
This Is really too bad because much
depends on the care Of the hands.
Soiled hands. dirty nails. fissured
fingers-all these carry germs Of
disease.
Not long ago we read about a girl
who was said to be the victim Of
fatal blood poisoning from the use
of a lipstick. I have no inclination
to defend too vigorously the use Of
cosmetics. but / take no stock In
the suggestion that the lipstick vas
to blame. Undoubtedly the infec-
ton came from the girls fingers.
Think Of all the things you touch
with your hands every day. You
cannot avoid contact with contain
mated objects. Somebody coughs
or sneezes into his hand and while
II is still wet he turns a door knob,
leaving germ laden moisture for the
next visitor to capture.
Neglect Of the hands and finger
nails results In tears of the cuticle.
hanGnails, raw assures and other
broken surfaces which may be the
gateway for the entrance of bad
germs. 1t Is a mistake to neglect
the hands.
"A woman shows her age by her
hands long before her face tells the
story. For cosmetic reasons, then.
as well as for health's sake. the
hands should be carefully attended.
A common blemish of the hands
Is the presence of a wart OF a clus-
ire Of warts. Boys are lucky II they
escape having them. At certain
ages. particularly between 10 or ii
and II. they are frequently observ-
ed. They are not serious in youth.
but In advanced life they are liable
to break down into malignancy.
III does not pay TO neglect the
hands. They should be kept in per-
feet condition and can be with a
little care.

Wheat on Parity With Steel

Rep. John Howard Of Nebraska and Rep. Marvin
Jones of Texas demand that the same railroad rates
shall be given foreign products moving to ports for
foreign shipment as is given steel by the American
railways. They demand that gain shall be placed on
@ parity with steel rates. They argue that for the
reason a reduction Of between 40 and so per cent was
given steel products to ports for shipment that the
same favor should be accorded agricultural products.
There are economic problems which continue to bob
up regardless Of the attitude Of the president, the
congressional leaders. the international and national
financers and the important captains Of American
industry.

I'm many of the cities 1t was reported
that the lack of cooperation from the
parents Of minors found in the halls
was the greatest handicap confronting

lack of cooperation was due sometimes
to ignorance of what their children were

sometimes to the old belief that young
people must sow their wild oats. The
cooperation of parents. is, however. so
important that public education as to

Change TO u. s. Value o. KID.
The Senate finance committee Re-
publicans today tentatively approved q
proposal by Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania to change from foreign to United
States value as the primary basis for
assessing ad valorem tariffs.
United States value, as defined in the
Reed proposal, is the selling price of
the imported article in wholesale guam
The committee majority disapproved
the new House provision increasing the
membership of the Tariff Commission to
seven members and provided for only
six commissioners as at present. The
House proposal to authorize the Presi-
dent to appoint the commissioners with
out regard to party Affiliations also was
diSapproved, the committee voting to
restore the present language providing
bers shall be Of one political party.
Chairman Smoot said the committee
Republicans hoped to conclude their re-
vision Of the entire bill today. but indi-
cations were that the agreement not to
take it up in the Senate until September
would be adhered to in order that all
Senators might have an opportunity to
study the measure.
Discuss Reed Proposal.
At an afternoon session yesterday the
Republican committeeman had an ex-
haustive discussion of the proposal Of
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania,
to change the primary basis for assess
ing ad valorem tariffs from foreign
value to United States value, or the
wholesale selling price of the imported
article in this country. No conclusions
were reached. The House bill retains
the present foreign valuation base.
Under Reeds plan the Tariff Com
mission would be given two years in
which to translate the ad valorem rates
finally adopted by Congress into duties
based on United States value and Civ
ing the same protection as the levies
founded on foreign value. Should the
United States value plan be written into
the law the entire ad valorem duty
structure would have to be curtailed
because of the higher value base taking
into account profit and other costs.

One aspect of the servant problem,
complicated with South American pol
itics, has entered the diplomatic corps
in Washington. and Alfredo Gonzales
Prada. first counselor OF the Peruvian
embassy, has left it.
Announcing his resignation, Prada re-
lated that he had employed two serv-
ants brought to Washington BY Mrs.
Miles Poindexter upon the retirement
Of her husband as Ambassador to Peru,
a post to which he was appointed after
the expiration of his last term as SEN
ator from Washington.
Mrs. Poindexter. the diplomat said.

signed, asserting that he had employed
the servants in defense of their inter-
ests as Peruvian citizens because they
were not being paid adequate wages.

Recalling his opposition to the Tacna-
africa treaty, he said in his letter Of
resignation to DR.. Pedro Jose Rada y
Gan1io, Peruvian minister of foreign af- /
fairs:
Il know that this ine,oent is a mere
pretext and a elimination of your at

Wan embassy in Chile and refused to

negotiations which have been consum-
mated by the ignominious treaty which

"Nor am I surprised that my pres
ent attitude should appear blameworthy
to you; Ill could such as you, who have
so signally failed in the defense Of the
highest and most sacred rights Of Peru
appreciate my eagerness to protect the
interests Of a Peruvian in humble cir
cumstances."
He informed the minister that he had
presented Isaias de Pierola, counselor
of embassy, to the State Department as
charge daffaireS ad interim. and an

BY the ASSOClaLeu EEcSS'
RoadhouseS outside city limits and
parental failure to keep their young
sters from public dance halls were cited
yesterday by the United States Chill
dren's Bureau as major difflculties in
the problem presented by the dance
hall"
The report, based on survey Of cities
in IS States, showed variance In the
laws for control of such halls. Echoes
Of dances long dead are found in still
valid ordinances prohibiting the toddle,
shufie, grizzly bear, bunny hug, Texas
Tommy and camel walk.
Children's Bureau oficials, in issuing
the study, of which Ella Gardner, bu-
reau recreation specialist, is the author,
pointed out that there was no attempt
to call attention to so-called dance
hall evils" but to discuss how public
dance halls may be made a real recre-
ational opportunity rather than
brighter form Of boredom" for adoleS-
cents.
The Investigations did not reveal uni
formly bad conditions in the public
dance halls. the pamphlet said, and this
fact furnished the best argument for
successful regulation.
Some dance hall managers" 1t con-
tinued, had demonstrated that it was
profitable to offer well conducted dances
in attractive halls. with good music"
Miss Gardeners research included
studies OF comparative data on ordin-
