Message on Page Is
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Dy IEOnOE GNs nOA0NLO
President Hoover reported to
Congress today in his annual mes
sage that the country is making
headway in its efforts to combat
the economic depression, and that
barring unforeseen set-backs I'VE
will overcome world influences and
will lead the march of prosperity
as we have always done hitherto"
The message was mainly de-
voted to the business situation
and what can be done to improve
it. More will he1acco ltslaed by
cooperative action In communities
themselves, he said, than by any
legislative action or Executive pro
nouncement.
Ignores Crime Jury
OF prohibition and its enforce
ment President Hoover said not a
sword. Presumably he left out all
reference to prohibition because
he is waiting for the report of
the Wickersham Commission, al
though he did not say so. In
any event, he ignored the subject.
It marked the first time in ten
years that a presidential message
has not had great deal to say
about it.
The message as a whole sedul.
ously avoided the submission Of
any controversial matters. Mr..
Hoover wants this Congress to
enact the necessary appropriation
bills and adjourn in three months
leaving nothing hanging in mid
air that would necessitate calling
a special session. For that rea-
son he refrained from comment
or recommendation that might
provoke controversy or delay in
the ordinary business Of the
session.
At LOggerheads
In the highly controversial
Muscle Shoals matter, he recon-
mended only that Congress "com-
plete the legislation" affecting its
final disposition.
The Senate and House are at
complete loggerheads on Muscle
Shoals. The Senate has passed
the Norris bill for Government
operation; the House has passed
the Reece bill for private opera
ton.
While it is understood that Mr..
Hoover favors the Reece bill, and

LABOR CHIEF

Former Secretary Accorded
Victory When 19 Democrats
Join In With Republicans

James j. Davis, whose resigna-
ton as Secretary of Labor be-
came effective today, was sworn
in as United States Senator from
Pennsylvania shortly after noon
today. despite an effort to pre-
vent his being sworn because of
the expenditures made in the
Pennsylvania primary last May.
The effort to keep Davis from
being sworn was made by Sena-
tor Gerald P. Nye (R.) of North
Dakota. chairman of the Senate
committee which investigated the
expenditures. It was a ort-lived
effort, for Davis took the oath
within a few minutes after Nye
had moved that the Senator-elect
from Pennsylvania stand aside.
Nye overriden
The Senate first rejected a
resolution sponsored by Senator
Nye barring Davis from the oath.
Then the Pennsylvania, without
further ado, was sworn into the
seat which was denied William S.
Ware two years ago. Senator
Nye said:
"It is my most unpleasant
tack to ask Senator Davis to
stand aside at this time until
my committee can obtain infOr.

i'm his behalf over and above
what already has been reported
to u.s."
Then Nye launched into a dis

expenditures. He said that infor-
nation before the committee in
dicated more than 100000 had
been spent in Davis behalf in
the primary in which the Secre-
tary of Labor won the Republican
nomination from Senator Joseph
r. Grundy. He added that his
committee expected to have a
special report on the Pennsyl-
vania campaign ready within a
few days.
Democrats Aid Davis
One point Nye conceded to
Davis was that the Pennsylvania
Republican primary battle was
more a contest for the guberna-
toriaI nomination than for the
Senatorial nomination. He added,
though, that all expenditures
made for Brown had aided Davis.
Nye went into some detail about

Rum Arrangements
Hit NeU Lou Level

With the arraignment of only
four persons in Police Court last
week, arrests for violation of the
dry law as the result of raids fell
to the lowest point thus far this
year.
The usual Monday "rush'' as
the result of weekend raids
averages 80 arraignments for dry
law breaches, Assistant District
Attorney David A. Hart declared.
Hart said he suggested to police
recently that the concentration

Of Message

Economic depression cannot
be cured by legislative action or
executive pronOuncement. Eco
nOmic wounds must be healed
by the action of the cells of
the economic bOdy-the produc-
ers and the consumers them
selves.
AS a contribution to the
economic situation, planned con-
structiOn work and continuation
of Government aid policies will
require a continual expenditure
of upwards of half a billion
dollars annually.
To accelerate construction in
the next six months Congress
is asked for an immediate
special appropriation of from
S1OO, ,OOO, 900 to $3.50, 900, 900.
Appropriation is urged for
the Department of Agriculture
to be lent to farmers for seed
and feed for animals.

Among the Greeks and Romans
physical fitness was national IDEAL
and their tacit assumption that
GOOD physical body was the fOunda-
tion of an efficient mind has the
support of modern science. SO let
lis note the direct connection be-
tween physical and mental well-be-
ing.
Bodily energy is required for
three distinct tasks (1) heating the
body; (2) muscular and vital pro-
cesses; (3) mental activity. Sclen-
lists tell us that the normal BODY
generates about S4O0 foot pounds OF
energy from the digestion of food
and from the oxygen extracted from
the air. About 2S4O pounds are used
each day simply to maintain the
heat of the body. This means that
only $50 foot pounds remain in re-
serve for carrying on muscular, VI
tai, and mental processes of daily
living-a definitely limited supply.
Now part of this needed reserve
may be lacking. The malnourlsned
child, for example, may not be eat
ing food enough to provide much
more heat than is necessary to keep
the body warm and the vital organs
at work. Consequently, thcre is lit
tie energy left for other things.
This means a feeling of fatigue, lack
of interest, and failure. Then there
is the child who gets enough to eat
but is suffering from eye strain ana
spends so much energy in seeing
that he lacks enough for satisfac-
tory and happy thinking. Again,
many children do not get enough
sleep and rest, and so do not build
up much or any of the needed sur
plus above body requirements. Such
children are incapable of good men
tai effort. The energy. is not there.
Other children may build up part
of all of the reserve but are allow
ed to engage in active play and go
to the movies until they use it all
up, and so are bankrupt when Occa-
sions for mental activities arrive.
Mental health means that one
must have a fair share of the $50
foot pounds of energy to draw on if
he is to prosecute his tasks success
fully and with a feeling of physical
well-being and enthusiasm. And
nature provides enough if proper
food and adequate sleep are the
rule; if proper personal hygiene and
healthy play, but not an excess OF
it, are practiced; if the necessary
reserve is not dissipated by excess
es of physical effort.
Increasingly we are coming to
understand that a surplus of physi-
cal energy is necessary for success
full living-and success is the toun-
dation of mental health.
