Air Mail Slump

During the first eight months of this year the number of passengers carried on all air lines in the United States increased l8 per cent as compared with the same period last year. The pounds of air express carried in that time increased 59 per cent. Ths pounds of air mail. however, decreased B per cent, probably because air mail postage is too high.
 While the air lines have lowered passen- ger rates, the government has increased the air postage rate along with that for ordinary letter mail. It persists, too, in charging more for the second ounce or fraction of an ounce than for the first. so that it is cheaper to send two ounces of air mail in two envelopes than in one. A letter weighing an ounce or less requires eight cents in postage if it trav- els by air. If it weighs slightly more than one ounce the postage comes to 2 cents.
 Revenue from this source has increased a little in spite of the drop in amount of mall sent by air, but if the air mail slump contin- ues the gain may disappear. Finding the point at which tax will be most productive requires skill and rare judgment. It is not evident that the tax bill enacted at the last session of Congress found that point, in postage rates at least.

 Jua when production is to be unleashed is uncertain. but there is feeling that n win be some time this winter. Anyway. the brewing industry is hopeful. And whether one is personally interested in beer itself. or not. the spirit Is little infectious Here is the first bit of industrial cheerful ness shown in quite a while. There may be over-induIgenoe at first. by way of cele- bration. But it may not be so bad for the drinkers as their home-brew and bootleg beverages have been. There will also be a glowing of patriotic ardor in many of the consumers hearts
 If the beer bears heavy federal tax. as it doubtless will. they will feel that they are drinking to balance the budget. We may have Budget Bee" r"-has any enterpris- ing brewer thought of that1 There will be better market for some farm products. And lot of folks, after the first glass or two. will be sure that beer is going to restore our national prosperity.

Home Loans

The Federal Home Loan banks are a little slow, but the fact that they are really getting into action on a small scale has a wholesome effect on the real estate situation It is well not to expect too much from this sort of financial relief all at once. The Home Loan banks in most cases will not be directly accessible to the home owner who needs help with his mortgage, or the family that wants money to build.
 They are planned to operate something like the Federal Reserve banks. affecting the ultimate credit-consunfer only at second hand Building and loan companies, savings and loan companies, etc, who become mem bers of these banks, can use frozen mort 1ages in their hands as collateral for loars from the Home Loan bank. just as bank members of the Federal Reserve can put up commercial collateral for loans. With this cash in their hands, the mortgage-lending institutions can make more loansa Thus the benefits coming from above, will flow down to the family seeking long, term credit on home.
 Such credit, easing the situation of dis tressed home owners able to re6nance their homes. helps credit all along the line. Ap- piled to new construction. it promotes ac tivity in the most vital of all industries. No form of credit or renewal is more im- portant than this.

Here's lendid Book on
 Career of John Brown
by LUCE CATION

John Brown was perhaps the strangest character America has produced. He was combination of murderer, saint and lunatic. He died on q scaffold, and in two years soldiers marched to war singing about him. He needs to be dealt with not so much by historians as by poets.
 "God's Angry Man" by Leonard Ehrlich. is a novel built around John Browns life, and 1t is an amazingly good one.
 It picks him up in Kansas, where Brown got the mad idea of killing pro-slavery men as a part of his program to free the slaves. It tells of the wild turmoil of those bloody border fights and shows how the old man developed his plan to invade the southland and set up a state of freed slaves who would be given their just dues by weird combination of bloody murder and primitive Christianity.
 Then it follows the fateful do- ings which led up to the utterly hopeless raid on Harper's Ferry. MT Ehrlich turns John Brown into real human b ing; he makes him understandable, makes you sympathize even while you are shaoking your head at his folly. The novels emotional power is tremendous. You FEEL the terror, lthe pity and the suffering the mans career involved; they be- come real to you, you. live, for the moment, in those dreadful days.
 Gods Angry Man" is by all odds the best new novel I have road in two years. It is published | by Simon and Schuster and is is priced at $2.5G.

Tearing London Down

in which we probably lead the world -un- with building impulse. There is such an impulse at work now and artistic London CTS are worried. They see the wreeking crews tearing down many historic struc- ture and many fine old bit of architecture replacing them with blocks of apartments and stores having no grace or beauty to re- deem them.
 At the rate London is being rebuilt, complains an English writer, we shall have nothing of the past remaining and then the piles that have arisen will only have them selves to rival in size and, as some of us think. in ugliness.' Londoners do not know what reconstruction is. We build our Ameri- can cities over every thirty years. But our new construction. on the whole. in contrast with our old. is probably better than the English Architecture now is our finest art, in which W probably lead the world-un- less we accept the automobile as form of art

THE PRuRITUs SEASON Is HERE AGAIN

In Europe it is simple matter to divide people into three classes, gentlemen or aristo- or laborers. In this country that classification won't do at all. Here we have two great classes: Those who itch in the summer time and those who have pruritus in winter. Although scabies is still the most popular variety of itch on a large scale (epidermaphy- toss, toe itch, is of course far more prevalent but this r.ngworm infection is just triai slze itching). and scabies happens in the best regu- lated households l assure you, prur.tus hoids it's undsputed vogue among the idle rich Pruritus is refined or polite itching. As . few of our readers are not rich yet suppose I shall have to explain that mean itching without scratching. That's one of the chieA drawbacks about being in the four hundrea @ or of the quaity-you itch. all right, but just try and scratch a Little and see how quickly you get the bum's rush. Pruritus then. Is any sor, of itching for which there Is no apparent cause.
 Pruritus is rampant in the winter season, when houses are artificially heated and the atmosphere therein is excessively dried out; when excess of clothing is worn; when the natural supply of iodin falls far below the bodys requrements; when the hot bath evil becomes a mana.
 tims of pruritus. Hedp yourself to whichever you want and don't get snooty about any you don't want.
 The less bathing the better for the sensitive skin. If you must bathe then the less soap the better. If you must use soap, then avoid hot water-use only tepid or lukeWarm water.
  expose your naked skin to the air and sun light the less bathing you will need. The oxy- gen of the air and sunlight are the natural cleansers . Often the skin may be cleansed with oil alone just as many women cold cream or other skin oil exclusively for cleaning the face. Where the skin is dry harsh, and resembles a state of permanent goose fcsh,' 1t IS im-
 portant to apply suitabie oil once or twice q day and always immediately after a bath. For th1s purpose cold cream (Ointment of Rose Water) is satisfactory if freshly made at least every month by the pharmacist after the form ula given in the Pharmacopoeia. It is quite as important to avoid the use of stock prepara- tions commonly offered as cold cream or skin cream.'' Sweet almond oil, olive oil
 (.sweet oip') sunfower seed oil and sesame seed oil are good skin oils, when pure and fresh. The last is preferable because 1t Is least likely to become rancid and. clog the skin.
 skin cream that has given much satisfac- ton is composed of one dram of lanolin, two drams of boroglycerid and enough cold cream to make an ounce of the cream. The cold cream in this recipe is better if made from petrolatum. If desired. grain or two of men thol added to the ounce of cream will give 1t a certain cooling effect. very little of this cream applied daily will keep the skin in fair condition Or anoint the skin daily with few drops of the Dew of Sahara"-1 dram traga- canth powder, drops phenol drops glycerin. drops oil of bergamot. ounces of olive oi', shaken into an emulsion with enough water to make one pint

 Lady Astor and MT Borah agree that the election was not man date against prohibition. Lady Astce thinks 1t was simply pro- test against the faulty enforce- ment of the present system. Up- qhestionably it was that at least; and though one may not agree with the whole of Lady Astcrs con- clusions, 1t Is undoubtedly true that there is still tremendous senti- ment for temperance in this coun- try if not for prohibition. ..SThe difference of course, is ob- 1vlous; but it would be very tragic jf embattled drys should lose the opportunity for great service to the former in their zeal for the lost cause which increasingly seems to be the latter. What the years seem to have proved is not that the American people are unduly friend ly to alcohol; but simply that they were not yet ready to abandon It altogetfier. The extrcmists in the dry ranks appear to have been wrong as extremists usually are; they forsook sound, evolutionary reform and process for revolu- tion in human custom enforced iDy legal fiat.
 But because the fiat has failed is no reason to condemn the pro- cess; the canniest enemies of alco- hol are already reshaptng their lines not to bolster up a crumbling fortress but to build a new one. There can hardly be doubt among objective observers that the old system has collapsed. What re- mains are remnants, fragments. They must be cleared away for q rlel approach to the scientific con trol Of alcohol in an industrial so- ciety: enlightened drys will coop crate with enlightened vets to bring this new control.

 Out of the billions of words
 used in the campaign one can pick various definite assurances of specific action. given by the plat
 form or by Governor Roosevelt or both. ~
 Some of the promised measures can better welt until Roosevelt
 becomes prcsident. He probably
 will call a special session soon
 after inauSuration.s But there arc
 others which democrats in con-
 gress can act on at the winter ses-
 sion if they de. ire. including some
 which they can hardly escape
 Democratic leaders in both
 branches are expected to be re-
 sponsive to Rooseveit's wishes.
 For instance, there's the party's
 promise to sry to cut government
 costs .25 per. cent, endorsed by the
 candidate. With. the budget still way out of balance this is-going to be another big economy session and the democrats will have the
 responsibility of getting busy al
 once.
 Last year they tried to consoli- date the war and navy depart
 ments. estimating savings of more than $50,000,000, but were de- featcd by republican votes. Their platform also inveighs against air
 line acd ship subsidies, which cost
 about s69,060, ,0oo. But even with large measures
 of economy they will have a hard time avoiding iilcreased taxes ufl-
 less they resort to legalizing beer and taxing 1t. Roosevelt has esti- mated that the treasury could get
 at least $500, 900 900 a year out of a beer tax.

Prince Jean de Chimay. a recent French

Prince Jean de Chimay. recent French visitor in this country (perhaps to get the down on the prohibition situation)
 spoke over the radio Sunday in the most glowing terms of the benefits that accrue from drinking some of the favored French wines with which We were once so familiar. We don't doubt the sincerity of Chimay's utterances. In fact, we rather agree with him. But it is slightly amusing to see the way various foreign countries are now fight ing to see which one will get the call for liquors in the event of modification of the Volstead Act or repeal of the 18th Amend ment. Prince Jean claims that the use of a wine like champagne would obviate the neees- sity of cocktails, cordials or other stimulants. He said in part. There are few, if any. req sons why we should not drink wines. Ger tainly there are very few champagne or bor- deaux drunkards in the world. When they talk in America of light wines, they mean cham pagne, bordeaux and other vintages They do not mean heavier wines like port and sherry or the sweet wines. Champagne and claret are both in the light wine category. This means that they can be used with impunity as well as with pleasure.
 Prince, you said mouthful. But why not a little propaganda work on the part of your nation or your wine-growers in behalf of these light wines7 Eh bien. mon prince!
