(NEA Service Writer)

Washington The National Wo- mans party finds its ears ringing with an unaccustomed amount of praise since it directed everybodys attention to the labor departments s cruel treatmentof Mrs Lillian Larsh, the destitute American-born woman who was deported along with her four little girls to Canadian town where she knew no one, simply be- cause her husband had been a Can- adian.
 Usually the party is found push ing it's equal rights amendment and is bitterly razzed by other women's groups because it would abolish la bor legislation designed to protect women along with other legal in- work for a bill to permit Mrs mems national organizations prob- ably will be on the same side.
 The Columbia Broadcasting com pany's operator who cut off Presi- dent Hoover's radio speech awhile ago still has his job and that incl dent and the one that happened to Democratic Chairman Jouett Shouse in San Francisco recently are mak- in public men more careful. Hoov- CT had penciled couple of addi- tional paragraphs onto his speech as first prepared and the operator, following the original copy, shut him off before he could get them on the air. All was satisfactorily ex- plained. Shouse's radio listeners suddenly heard him telling gath ering that he was "off the air" when he wasn't and Republican Chairman Simeon Tess charged he had then said things he wouldn't have dared say to a radio audience.
 Senator Davis of Pennsylvania, former secretary of slabor, some- times known as Banjo Jim," isn't always taken seriously here, but Cal Coolidge recently told friend that when he had wanted to get a thing done Davis was the most dependable man in his cabinet. Jim, he explained, had a faculty of in- graduating himself and getting peo- pie to do those things.
 The famous D. A. F. apparently still believes there is something slightly profane about tobacco. Signs in corridors of Memorial Con- tinental hall primly admonish one:
 "No Smoking. This is Memorial hall"

 A recent article published by the Methodist board of temperance, prohibition and public morals, to prove that while a certain quantity of wine or brandy makes a man

New York-Even in town where the unique becomes commonplace. the Pipe Organ Bumpers" can lay fair claim to distinction.
 Although New York has any num- Der of odd and unusual organiza- tions, the bumpers" remain cou- pie of leaps ahead of most original ideas.
 To be a member, one must prove that he has, in his earlier years, pumped the bellows in the little church organ. And you'd be sur prised the number of small towners in the big town who have done just that, including myself
 Charles M. Schwab, the steel mag nate. is numbered among the an- cient clan of pipe bumpers. So is George Bye, the big syndicate man. So are hundreds of others who oc- cupy positions of state, to say noth- ing of the many who are just peo- ple."
 And to show you how giddy we boys get out here in New York when we get together, there's a magic lantern show put on each time an annual get-together is held. Yes. sir, and we sing old songs with slide liuStrdtioHS anu cup up ilNe any . thing.
 The bright idea for this order originated in the bean of one Chet Shafer, who used to live around this town and work for magazines, but who has moved back to a small com munity in the middle west. All funds that come from dues are to be used for restoring those grand old metal animals that used to be used to decorate lawns. Next thing you know they'll be having a home for wooden cigar store Indians. The officers of the order are named after the stops of a pipe or- gan, such as "vox humana," "chief diapason." "chief tremolo" and tuba profunda."
 It was something like three or four years ago. if remember, that bunch of ministers sons who have made good in the world got together and decided to start an organization which would live down the old wheeze that ministers sons come to no good end.
 They pointed out that whenever minister's son went wrong the fact attracted so much attention that every minister's son was expected to live under some sort of curse.
 The world, they pointed out, heard of ministers sons only when they went wrong. whereas the vast majority of them have done noth- ing of the sort. Their organization contained scores of eminent person. alities.

 Also there's club in New York that has no headquarters. Nor has it dues or bylaws. It meets once a week at lunch. and the lunch place is changed from time to time.
 It's called the Dutch Treat, and on its list of members are the best known writers. artists, musicians and newspaper folk in America. Once year they put on dinner show. The sketches are written by many of the country's most famous play wrights and wits. The parts are played by other celebrities.

The judiciary committee of the Legsla- ture now claims that the recent common pleas court appointments which were approved by the Legislature were made by that body and not by Governor Cross. This statement per- mits the committee to draw up constitu- tional amendment giving the governor the power to make appointments to this court. Just as many high officials have declared that this action is not necessary as those who say the governor has been making his nomina- tions unconstitutionally. If they were made internationally how about validating bill for the appointees now serving? They were appointed in the same way. It's just a silly pretext.

Studying Old Age Pensions

We don't doubt that the Legislature will authorize creation of commission to study ( old age pensions before it adjourns this week There has been so much maneuvering with bills discussing this subject in the last two years that something is just naturally bound to happen. It was a clever move on the part of House Leader Johnson to bring in that judiciary committee report but it may not be as wise a move asThe thinks In two more years the democrats may control the entire

The attack upon Dr Carlos Leiva, Charge d dAffares of the Salvadorean legation. has prompted prohibitonists to agitate for the withdrawal of immunity from the liquor laws from foreign embassies. Senator Smith w. Brookhart, prominent in Capitol dry circles. stated last week that There doesn't seem to be any sense in allowing these diplomats to transport liquor in dry country No there doesn't but to lot more of us there doesn't seem to be much sense ill having laws for
 bidding the transportation of liquor in this nation when it is going on every day in the week. We'd much rather see the foreign diplomats enjoy their fancy liquors, whose

Never has temperance been seofed at so openly and SO widely as it has during the days of prohibition. The saloon was never the evil that the modern speakeasy consti- tutes. And we don't care how many raids Mr Woodcock makes or inspires there will still be speakeasies. It is high time that we adopted sensible attitude towards the pro- hbition question.

Dentistry for the Few

The United States leads the world in den- tistry and dental training. The office of edu- cation of the Department of the Interior re- ports that there are 6700 dentists in Amer ica. one to every l,700 persons. That sounds fine, but there is another side. Only one fourth of the American people receive any sort of dental service. In four states there is only one deatist to 1000 persons, and in seven others there is on dentist to 5000. That isn't SO good.
 A good deal has been discovered in recent years concerning the relation of general health and efficiency to sound and healthy teeth. It has been found. too. that many serious dental troubles can be avoided by early and regular examination cleaning and treatment. Edu- cational standards in this country are high. Public schools are numerous and good But there is a disgraceful amount of illiteraey. There are similar discrepancies in other fields of high achievement. There is still much to do before we have taken full advantage of our scientific skill and knowledge.

probably will keep on increasing, which presumably means that just one more section of agriculture is going to suffer from overproduction.
 A speaker at the recent Chamber of Commerce meetings departed from his prepared speech to tell in teresting tales about how the Illi- nois corn crop used to go to Ca- nadian distillers but didn't any more because of competition and how Mohammedans in the Sudan were persuaded to work only on promise of trips to Mecca in return for two years labor and then told at Mecca they must work couple of years more for their passage home.
 There was 8 big story just be- fore the international climber of commerce that foreign delegates would attack the United States for trading with Russia. At the congress itself you couldn't find delegates from any important country that wasn't trading with Russia, so that's presumably why there wasn't any fight

On such day St Francis paused And all around him stood The soft-furred little trusting things Who ran within that wood. The sky was very blue for him (Perhaps his eyes were blue); The wind was cool upon his face GA gentle wind he knew). On such day St Francis walked. And down each wooded lane I listen for his footsteps now

And by the way it requires four years time to adopt a constitutional amendment. In ad- dition the people of the state have to vote upon it. All of which means that in 1852 the voting machines will probably be well cluttered with candidates for national con- gressional and state offices. not to mention the prohibition referendum and the constitutional amendment. And in l933 the Legislature will name the common pleas judges. There s the joker.

That old man Depression would be
pushing up the daisies If all of the
calamity howlers could be muzzled.
1t is true that business condition,

similar to freight train going up dill
with the brakes frightened. While the
optirnists are pouring oil into the fire
to make more steam for going ahead
purposes, the pessimists are throwin,,
on the brakes.
The engine, Business, is putting
away, gaining a little headway at a
time and will only continue to gain
at that rate until the howlers are
booted off the train.
The howlers are now broadcastins
that business is slipping and will
probably fracture one Or two legs this
summer. Some of Uncle SANS chill
dren, who are easily convinced by
howlers that it will not be long be-
fore green-backs are worth two cents
on the dollar, are already planning to
soak" their winter overcoats for
enough money to meet any emergen-
cies. These children are great, big
help in a great, big way to the howl
ers. They form an audience that
would stop any prosperity show.
In the ordinary course of commerc-
