For the first time in the history of the White House president has voluntarily sashed his salary President Hoover in keeping with the economy trend through out the federal government reduced his sal ary Sl5.000 year and that of Cabinet officials by 5 per cent. The Hoover cut amounts to 20 per cent. In announcing this salary slash Mir Hoover said. ~"The presi- dent has received the unanimous request from members of the Cabinet that they should be subject to the maximum reduction of salaries under the economy bill The president has. therefore. issued the neees- sary order by which they will be reduced IS per cent instead of the alternative. which would amount to 8 l-3 per cent under the furlough provisions The Consti- tuition declares that no presidents salary can be cut while he is in office. That also holds good for federal judges. we believe. There was some talk of including them in the list of federal employees to get salary reductions. but the law safely protected them. In the presidents case there will be no official re- duetion. He will simply turn back 20 per cent of his annual salary. thus bringing his

River Vacation

Fifty Girl Scout Counselors from Ohio. West Virginia. and Kentucky are having remarkable fortnight of vacation and train ing combined. With a director and two teachers they are living on an old river boat. the Capitol City, on the Kentucky River. A barge is moored alongside the Capital City, on which the girls cook, eat and wash. Their cots are on the Capital City,
 By day boat and barge float downstream to convenient spot There the girls dis embark and make expeditions into woods and hills They are searching for evidences of the ancient ocean that once. geologists say, was there. By night, they sup. sing and sleep. Food disappears in quantities, and the river rings with Girl Scout songs before bedtime.
 The pilot, known as Just Joe,' has been going up and down the Kentucky river for 2l years but finds this experience new to him. He must be finding it tolerable,. however. for he expects to go or piloting a new batch of girls every two weeks all sum- rner. It's gorgeous way for the girls to have good time and learn something about nature These are not girls of Scout age. but older ones learning how to be counsel ors.

Mend Faces

King Camp Gillette. who has just died. may be said faeetiously to have changed the face of civilization. He did more with mems faces than had been done since Alex ander the Great introduced to Europe the quaint Persian custom of shaving. and more than all the armies of beauty experts have been able to do to womeps faces. He wrought his revolution. too. in an aSton- ishingly short time.
 His achievement is one of the romantic business stories of this century. It was only in 1903 that he started out to fight the old fashioned razor blade entrenehed by more than 1000 years of use, with revolution ary device which was patently ridiculous. Yet in quarter of century he was selling l5,000,000 razors and 1000, 100000 blades year. with plenty of competitors adopting the idea
 Fashions in facial adornment will still come and go. Men may still go bearded in varying degrees and divers places for ages to come. But they will hardly return to the backwoods and medieval type more sug- gestive of the aboriginal cave man than of modern civilization. And if it should turn out that boards in general are banished from the earth, it will be mainly this dreaming inventor, practical business man and social reformer who did it. by making once gory and difficult operation safe and easy.

It was good news in this city to learn that Attorney John C. Blaekall of Hartford was going to seek the democratic nomination for state senator in the first district. Mr Blackall is native of Waterbury and q graduate of our local schools. His progress in Hartford law circles has been rapid. He is also well known in state political circles. For years he was Representative Augustine Lonergan's secretary at Washington. When Mir Lonergan failed of election in 1920 he took similar post with Rep Carl Mapes of Michigan. His many friends in Waterbury will hope to see him land in the state Sem ate. He should prove valuable aid to the democratic party if elected.

Much Honesty

An auto finance man has studied auto mobile purchase records and figured out that 92 l-2 per cent of the public are hon. est per cent are careless and only 2 l-2 per cent are dishonest. A retail credit man puts together slightly different set of fig ures He has found that 50 to 60 per cent of buyers pay promptly. Most of the oth- CTS intend to do SO. but either grow careless or run into trouble of some sort. Less than per cent, he says are dishonest, buying with no intention of paying.
 The two men differ chiefly in the sizes of the effectively honest and careless groups. Their estimates of the number of dishonest persons are very close. They bear out what has been asserted again and again in the past, that there is far more honesty than dis honesty in the world. more honest per- sons than crooks, more square dealing than cheating It is more impressive truth in times like these than in boom times when everybody is better able to buy and pay.

THE COST OF THE CAMPAIGN
(New Haven Journal Courier)

(New Haven Journal -Courier)
 Both democrats and republicans are beginning to worry about where the money is coming from to finance the campaign. The
 democrats are waiting until MT Roosevelt returns from his cruise to formulate their schemes, and the republicans are slowly making
 plans for their drive for funds. Four years ago the campaign cost a total of s16,50O.0OO. This is an enormous sum and 1t Is heartening to hear MT Farley speaking for the democrats and MT Sanders voicing the opinion of the repubH- cans to the effect that economy in cost must be the order
 of the day. It is thought that S10,OO0,OO0 will be enough to fi- nance the 1892 campaign. A good- ly amount o fthis money will be there are racketeers who profit. from the donations to the general
 party funds. This year money will be withheld on account of the depression. After all, 1t would seem that this ought to be a year, with little expenditure for political activities. Although 1t Is gratify- ing to hear the party leaders ex- press their desire to keep expenses on low level. $10,000,00O seems to be too large a sum to spend at this time in this way. At least half the money will be spent in vain, for obviously both parties cannot win. If only the United States could find a method to carry on the elections and the govern ment as well at lower. cost. the
 burden of taxation and the de- mands for contributions would be much more bearabie.

Calls Rise of Bureaus Peril
 to Constitution

In "our wonderland of Bureau cracy'' James M. Beck. former solicitor general of the United States, expresses the opinion that the structure of the federal goy- ernment has grown cumbersome, unwieldly and expensive beyond all reason.
 MT Beck is, in the best sense of the expression, old ld-fashioned That is, he looks back to the founding of the nation and dis covers that the framers of the constitution did their best to erect a federal government of strictly limited powers; and he complains that the multiplicity of bureaus now operating at Washington have given the federal government al- most unlimited powers.
 The whole process, he believes, is ra-constitutional;, he sees no end to it, and he asserts that "the end of contitutional government, if not in sight, can at least be req sonably anticipated as Q possibil- |ityi" :.
 that the nation has lost it's ability to think in terms of abstract poe Flitical rights. If given proposal looks as if 1t might work, the citi- zens rush to order the federal gov ernment to carry 1t out, ignoring its effect on the Constitution and on the liberties of the individual.
 His book, which Macmillan is offering at $3, Is useful one. think he overstates his case. and l do not think he has made enough allowance for the growing com plexities in American life which have made 1t necessary for Wash ington to do things that weren't originally considered Washington's job; but his argument will, at any rate. set you thinking.

Washintgon.-War debts will creep in a&. an issue of the 1932 cam mpaign whenever anyone thinks they can be profitably capitalized.
 The general attitude of the poli- ticians will be to assert that the nations of Europe must pay to the last red cent despite the rather general belief that some consid- erable reductions are going to be made after the elections. : Although the allies have agreed virtually to wipe out German rep arations if they can make satisfac- tory debt readJustments with the United States, all progress on this important international issue, with its enormous economic implica- tions, will be held up until we get that election over with!
 The European countries, recog- nizing the difficulties of the Hoover administration, apparently will be discreet enough to make us no propositions for readjustment me- gotiations until the voters have done their stuff at the polls.
 The Administration Stand
 The republicans avoided any mention of the debts in their plat form as devised at Chicago with the of Secretary of State Henry l.. Stimson, but they are In position to reiterate the administration ex- pressed opposition to cancellation in case the democrats press them on the issue.
 And if the European debtors hold off with their inevitable re- quests for reconsideration they will be able to say that the question hasn't even arisen and that the situation, as far as this government is concerned, consequently remains the same.
 The same thing goes for the fu- ture of the Hoover moratorium, which has already expired but which will in all probability be ex- tended before the first I9S2-33 payments come due on December 16.
 No Big Hearted Mood
 There will be plenty of time to arrange that after the elsEtion and the European debtors stand to gain rather than lose if they wait. Informal understanding may be GCACAOu HI SAhC AASsSAAsahASs
 The big point now is that this country, whose views are reflected in the overwhelming anti-cancella- ton sentiment in congress, iS in no mood at this time to be big-hearted about debts and the administration therefore doesn't want to monkey with the issue unless 1t can do 50 in a way which would strike a popular chord.
 Payments due us in 1932.33 amount to$270,O00, ,000, of which $195, ,OOO, 900 is chargeable to inter- est. Most of the debt agreements provide that the debtors on giving 90 days notice, may postpone the payments on account of principal for from two to three years. The interest payments amount to so much more than the principal pay ments that there is some doubt how extensively this provision will be utilized this year.

1.-THE VOICE OF THE LOBSTER"
(Hartford Courant)

The Massachusetts society Tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami mals sends us a circular urging humane treatment of Holsters. that is to say, approximately humane treatment. It recognizes, evident ly. that man and also woman will eat the lobster If it is caught and if man has the price, but 1t asks that the lobster be killed in a hu- mane manner.
 It takes for granted the fact that. if dropped into boiling water, the lobster suffers acutely for 8 time. It Is unnecessary, for the society goes on to say: Two live fresh Holsters were placed in water of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Within a few minutes without any struggle they gave every evidence of being perfectly unconscious. This method did not tougher the meat as some- times claimed. We never tasted better or tenderer in any way" So 1t appears that the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. assuming for the moment that the lobster Is an animal, ate the victims of their ex- pertinent, but to us 1t is not clear thar the creaLureb ulu uOI Suiiers aS much duying the few moments in water at 100 degrees as they would had they been dropped into water at PIP degrees.
 Far be it from us to be cruel to any creature for which we enter tain a feeling so kindly as that which we have for the lobster, but as we cannot eat them without causing them at least some discom- fort, we ask for proof that they do not suffer when immursed in water heated to 100 F. And then, if we are obliged to consider such mat ters, what shall be done with clans and oysters? It must annoy an oy- ster greatly to have one of its shells torn off and to be eaten with tabasco sauce, and we cannot think that a clam cares to be placed in water and to remain there until the water boiis--use sea water always if possible. As long as we eat the lower forms of life. as we do and are likely to, we are compelled to treat them harshiy. for we have found no way out except to become vege-

ACID FOODS AND FOODS THAT PRODUCE
 ACID


 reader asks just what foods she should eat as she has been told by her doctor that she has not enough acid in her system.
 Another reader says he has been troupieo over a year by what his doctor says is too much alkan and details some symptoms which do not belong in a health column. He asks 1T I will please give him a list or foods 10 reduce the alkaline excess.
 third has been able to eat all citrus Iruts until the past year. Now the least bit or sucn fruit causes her to break out With large Ncnins . punches, What can she do to correct this! :! Will kindly tell her which foods form acid!
 Still another customer requests lists oi (l) acid foods, CD starchy foods, and reveals no hint as to what he intends to do with them.
 Well, now, let's get down to brass tacks and no fooling. I know how fond people are of diet lists. Readers have harried me Tn sea, son and out for more articles about diets and dieting. suppose if wanted to be accommo. dating I might copy out a few cut and dried diets making triaing changes so the orlginal authors could not say lifted them in one piece, and distribute them to all and sundry. am told it is a very popular game. But I'm not going to play 1t.
 So in order to save space, time. labor and the good will of our customers. IN set down here briefly all we know about this acid and alkaline business
 First the most acid foods-citrus fruits-are among the best to oppose acidosis, to keep the blood alkaline. to prevent the urine rom being too acid.
 Second there is too much confusion in the popular mind about acidosis and the acidity of the gastric juice. The one has practically nothing to do with the other. Foods which increase the acidity of the stomach or de- crease its acidity do not ave any particular ef- feet upon the reaction of the blood and tissues, as a rule.
 Third acdosis is always and solely. believe, an effect of disease, never a cause of illness, and hence 1t is idle and futile for the layman to attempt to select foods which purport to prevent acidosis. Yes. am aware certain fruit interests exploit the idea that liberal eating of certain fruits will prevent or cure acidosis, but in my judgment that's all balOney. At least freak notion.
 Well. that's about all there is about it. mean that's all we know.
 Sorry. if you are disappointed in me, but I've done the best I. could with vexed question and if you can bring any scientific evidence have overlooked I'll be grateful to learn about it. Please spare me citations of what this and that near doctor says. like baioney. all right but prefer to slice my own.
