Sen. King Predicts
JObLeSS Cure Flood

The spread of a Federal bu-
reaucracy is one of the major
problems Of the country, Senator
William H. King CD, Utah, as
serted yesterday in a radio ad-
dress sponsored by the SentinelS
Of the Republic. The coming
of Congress, he warned, will be
Swamped with schemes and "pat-
ent remedies" for curing the de-
preston and many will embrace
extension Of the activities Of the
Federal Government. He said:
appeals are constantly being
made for the Federal Govern
ment to engage in activities
wholly OUlide Of its delegated
powers. 1t is as reasonable to
attacI the sovereignty Of a
State as it is to make war
upon the Federal Government.
Local self government lies at
the very foundation Of free
country"

In one of the few interviews
Josette gave during her stay in

The trip to Annapolis, prob

of Josette's visit, was almost
spoiled by a near-accident on the
way back to Washington.
On the return journey, a car

T ELECTRICIANS |
IN WORK DRIVE

Modernizing of American resi-.

equipped with electrical fixtures
has been planned to relieve uf1.
employment in the electrical and
construction industry.
The Electrical Guild Of North
America and the International

erS, organization comprising con-
tractors and workers, estimate
that if 8 per cent Of the neces-
Sary work to modernize these
old buildings is done $126, ,00O, 600
will be spent.
This sum, they say, will pro-
vide $50, 100000 in wages to cleo
trical workers and $76,000,00 for!
materials which other workers
must be hired to manufacture.
Under the plan, idle electricians

MEMBERS TOLD
TO STOP COST
PAYMENTS
Sincere Attempt to Notify
Defendants Was Not Made,
Letter to Them indicates

Further protest against the fill
ing Of delinquent tax suits with
o,.t q sincere attempt" on the
part Of the Commonwealth attor-
ney to notify the taxpayer that
his taxes are delinquent, was
made today in Arlington county
BY the Observation-Disclosures
fax Real Estate Board.
Urged Not to Pay
The protest is contained in a
letter mailed to various defend
ants in the more than q thousand
suits instituted u year ago by
Commonwealth Attorney w. c.
Cloth. The letter suggests that
defendants who are members OF
the real estate board pay only the
delinquent taxes owed by them
without the costs or fees until a
final decision is returned from the
Virginia Court Of Appeals.
The letter reads in part:
'Tn many cases the costs
and fees seem to ms exorbi-
tant. For example, I'm one
case known - chancery case
No. 1854, to collect a. cents
in delinquent taxes, the costs
amounted to $3.50. In another
case known % chancery case
No. 1859, to collect S87.67 Of
delinquent taxes, the costs were
$471.S5.
Injury to County
eve feel that any expensive
proceedings without ample
notice are an unreasonable
burden upon taxpayers, have
an adverse effect upon the
progress Of the county, and
initiate against attracting new
capital, residents and property
owners to Arlington county"
The occasion for the letter Is
the pendency Of the appeal from
the action Of the Arlington
circuit court in throwing more
than q score Of the suits out
upon demu re- and the ten
dency Of taxpayers to pay the
entire costs Of the suit before
trial rather than be involved in
lengthy litigation.

Whenever the number of red-blood-cell is mate

diseases It is great protection to health and phys-
cal well-beng to keep the red-blood-cell count up
to normal.

TIME newspapers of New York
Il have been having a good deal
Of fun with Reno, Nev., recently.
Not all the comment is humorous.
Occasionally an editorial writer
flashes into severe disapprobation Of
the ways of Reno.
In the Post, for instance, I find:
Nevada permits divorce on all sorts
of ,pretextS. 1t is not necessary to
be opposed to divorce in order to
conclude that Nevada is making it
altogether too easy.
Marriage is social contract,
even if one does not regard it as a
religious sacrament. 1t is as old as
human society. It's customs have
differed at different periods, and
they still differ among different
races.
Soviet Russia has returned to the
customs of uncivilized tribes by
making it almost as easy for hus-
band to discard his wife as to aban-
don an old coat"
Well, let's see. It is quite true
that the legal code in New York in
regard to divorce differs very much
from that which prevails in Reno.
In New York divorce is granted for
only two causes-either inf1delity or
a disappearance lasting for seven
years.
This so-called Enoch Arden di-
vorce comes infrequently into the
courts. Indeed, it is in some cases
not so much a divorce as a legal
assumption that the missing person
is dead.

Another Budget Battle

President Hoover is receiving deserved cheers for
his plan to cut army expenditures.
Military costs have been going up since the war
and are much too high, as the President himself has
said on more than one occasion. cut is needed to
prove the sincerity Of constant lip service to
arms reduction.
Moreover, we are facing billion dollar annual
deficit next month, and perhaps a larger next
year. Something in the way Of economy must be
done quickly
But that is easier said than done. Coolidge was
one of the best cutters in history, and the army
beat him. When Hoover took Office, he announced
what he would do. But two years have gone by and
the army has not lost trench yet.
Clearly the President and commander in chief will
have to be long on courage he is going to win this
battle of the budget He has not only the generals
to fight but the politicians waiting for a flank at
tack
When he starts to close some of those expensive
and unnecessary army posts he is going to hear a
howl from the porkbarrelers that will make the Re-
publican campaign committee turn white.
Doubtless the President knows that and is pre-
pared. We hope so.

Goodby Latin

The plant OF the classcist, fighting now with his
back to the wall will be heard only feebly against
the chorus of cheers at the abolition of dead Ian
euages" as compulsory subjects for A 3. candidates
at Yale.
Yale follows Princeton in taking this step away
from the cultural in education, and toward the
strictly utiitarian although in Difference to the old
regime course in classical civilization is provided
the alternative to Latin and Greek
The great advantage OF the change it seems to
US lies in the granting Of wider choice of subjects
to the undergraduate. Latin when studied because
there's no way out of it. probably makes little imprint
on the average students mental background. And
that holds good for the modern languages, too.
How many alumni use their college French
or Spanish today? For most Of us, it soon grows
hazy as College Latin.
That does not prove, by any means. that the grind
ing with irregular verbs was a total loss it left its
contribution in firmer understanding Of our own
tongue. and in mind improved by vigorous exercise.

Reversing Roles

It is customary for many persons to look for heat
and emotion the reactions of practical men, espe-
cially service men and legionnaires 1t is equally
usual to expect calm and measured judgment from
scholars and publicsts.
Whether such cut-and dried predictions just
not may be debated. But certainly we have just had
a striking illustration of reversal of such roles.
The Lexington post, American Legion, New York
City gave dinner at the Astor hotel to former SOL
diers of the central powers who now are American
citizens being naturalzed. AT this dinner resolu-
tions were passed, sharply condenning the postwar
treaties and calling for reconstruction OF Europe In
harmony with truth and Justice.
No more statesmanlike pronouncement has been
expressed by anybody anywhere since Nov. II, 1913
Geneva we'll might be deluged with reprints.
In the press for the same day it was announced
that the Pulitzer prize for the best book American
history for the year had been awarded to Professor
Bernadotte E. Schmitt for his Coming of the War.
This book is regarded the most reprehensibe effort
yet made to saddle Germany with responsibility for
the World war and to perpetuate wartime myths and
hatreds
Almost every expert who has read Schmitt's book
vigorously has condemned its basic contentious

sideraton Of the facts

THE nose is one of the most diff
4 f1cult organs of the human
countenance, particularly as con-
Germs it's relationship to beauty.
1t is the most conspicuous fea-
ture, and any exaggeration in its
size or any loss of its contour not
only makes it target for I'M
necessary attention, but makes its
possessor the subject of a psyche
logic complex which leads to I'M
happiness.
In molding the human body, ma
ture plays strange tricks with the
nose, not infrequently placing an
aquiline organ of classical proper
tons on a piquant face, or putting
tiny, uptilted probosciS on a coun-
tenance Of tremendous proportions.
A nose of any, shape or size may
function perfectly for smelling and
breathing, but still fail to give sat
iSfaction to its possessor.
Hence, surgeons who specialize
in art work on the human face de-
vote their attention largely to the
possibilities of reconstruction of the
nose.
In recent address before the
Institute Of Medicine of Chicago,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-05-13
sERv1CE--
Nose Is Difficult Organ to 'Revamp'

cedure is technical and must be
done under the best operative con-
ditions.
bumped noses may be too long
or too short and have a dropping
tip. The removal of q hump re-
quires the use of a saw, chisel or
file.
Like the carpenter who cut out
too much door, the remover of bones
has to be exceedingly careful not
to cut too much at any single opera
ton.
It is much easier to cut out more
than to put back too much that
has been cut away.
In restoring tissue, 1t sometimes
becomes necessary to transplant
pieces of tissue from the forehead
or the cheeks to make up defects
in the nose.
Enough has been said to indi-
cate the complicated character of
such operative procedures, but it
must be emphasized that they re-
quire not only the best of surgery,
but special type of surgery.
This fact has drawn into the field
innumerable quacks who promise
far more than they can perform
or indeed that anyone can per-
form-this indicates primarily the
mark of the surgical quack.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-05-13

an expert in cosmetic surgery en-
phaSized the fact that much de-
ponds on the particular point of
view in the determination as to
whether an operation is to be done.
IF the patient has psychologist
f1xation on his nose, he is not likely
to be satisfied with any result that
may be achieved.
For this reason, experts are eau
tious about attempting to correct
slight defects, preferring to exer-
else their abilities on serious losses
due to either accident or disease,
or to serious deformities of such
certainly inartistic contours as to
make the relief clearly apparent.
The mere fact, therefore, that
the person is dissatisfied with his
nose is not considered to be a suf-
f1cient indication for an operation.
The presence of a noticeable
hump or depression is, however, a
condition which may be relieved
with some satisfaction.
It should be understood that any
operation is fairly serious per-
Torrance. The nose is composed
of skin, tissue elements, and car
tilage.
1t is possible to transplant pieces
of bone or cartilage to take care
of serious depressionS, but the pro-
