failures can it stand? How many
more times can we lay down bar
rage of idealistic principles, only to
have other nations sheer at them,
and maintain our self-respect?
First. we forced the League of

Endorsed the right of elf-determi-
nation and then took charge of
Nicarauga. Third, we went to Ger

if not all the war debts. Fourth,
we signed the Kellogg pact, but
refused to join the world court.
Fifth, we told Japan what she must
not do and then let her get away

Our policy of verbose negation
has driven Germany to arm, lost
us the bulk of Russian trade,
smashed China, and forced a con-
cert of action between Russia and
Japan which may prove of the
gravest consequence.

Three Diseases Affect Beard Area

agnosis by looking at the roots of
the hair under the microscope, so
that he actually can see the ring
worm or fungus that causes the
disease.
Physicians usually control this
condition by removing the hair,
perhaps, by the use of the X-ray,
and then applying various drugs
which will destroy the fungus.
The third condition which af-
fects the beard usually is difficult to
stamp out. 1t represents infection
of the root of the hair by an or
ganism which produces pus, known
as staphylococcus.
The face seems to be red and
busted over with small pustules and
crusts. There is burning, itching or
pain.
The condition gets so deeply into
the hair follicles that it may be
difficult for antiseptics to penetrate
sufficiently to kill the germs.
Here again is case in which
long, careful, patient treatment is
demanded, if the condition is to be
eliminated.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-We hear much
these days concerning the railroads.
Having beep connected with rail-
roads for the last fifteen years, per-
nit me to recall some incidents that
happened years ago.
First, about fifteen years ago, I
had to ship some furniture. I GRAFT
ed it as best I could and for the
simple fact that it didn't meet the
requirements of the railroad COM
pany it was rejected.
If you offered any argument, you
would receive the curt reply that IF
you intend getting it to it's destina-
ton you will crate it as I say"
Another time I happened to be a
passenger on a railroad train run
ming through a small town, and as
I happened to be at the depot about
one-half hour before trai ntime
thought would purchase my ticket.
When called at the ticket Office to
make the purchase Twas informed
that the ticket Office wasn't open
yet. Yet there was an agent on duty
there twenty-four hours day.
Now since the railroads them
selves drove their business away, or
in other words, forced the public
to make other arrangements to give
better and more curteous service,
why should the public go back to
the railroads, when they know they
will be treated as they were before,
should railroads get monopoly on
transportation as they once had?
Shortly after the crash in Wall
street in 1929, the presidents Of
several of the larger roads met with
the President of the United States,
pledging their word that they would
not cut wages. They have broken
that pledge. cutting wages 10 per
cent and now are talking of an
other cut, after receiving help from
the government.
In Chicago last year they said if
the employees would submit to 10
per cent cut. it would stimulate
business. Workers agreed to the

to control this condition if it is seen
early. Use of proper ointments of
anmoniated mercury and of anti
septics added to the shaving water
usually brings about prompt cure.
Precaution should, of course, be
taken to prevent infection of other
people.
A little more severe than i'm
petigo and likely to last longer is
the condition called ringworm or
BARRIERS itch. Everybody now knows
something about athletes foot,
which affects not only the skin of
the feet, but also the groin and the
buttockS.
The same type of organism also
may attack beard and scalp.
The organism gets into the hair
follicles and produces inflamma-
ton. An abscess follows, then there
are raised, red, crusted Jumps, which
are tender and painful.
The condition may look like alb
sceSses, but if the crusts are re-
moved only a small amount of
blood stained serum comes out.

StraWS in the Wind

DUT it is rather less the concrete
- problem in hand than its SYM
bolic significance which worries me
about our new mayor. If Joseph
Mckee intends to be an organiza-
ton man and a reformer as well,
he will have few friends at the end
of his term. And he will deserve
few.
1t is little as if he had an

And speaking of municipal affairs
and civic problems, I am in a po-
Sition to shed from my shoulders a
pack as heavy as that which tor
mented Bunyan's Pilgrim in his
journey. I refer to the show called
"Ballyhoo."
This entertainment was devised
and executed by several gentlemen
who happen to be close friends of
mine. One of them invited me to
what was called a dress rehearsal,
although, with one thing and an
other, the show did not open until
almost a month later.
During the four weeks which fol-
lowed I spent q weary time hiding
behind doors and running up blind
alleys. I was afraid of coming face
to face with any of the entrepre-
neurs of the enterprise, for if he
asked me, what did you think of
it?" I would have been compelled
to lie more than is my custom or
to be downright insulting.

Not Quite Set in the Role

NEOST of his deeds, announce
Iva ments and acrobatic tricks
were excellent. But he was a little
self-conscious, and under the strain,
dropped a couple of Indian clubs.
Now that the job apparently is his
for more than a year at least,
hope to see Mr.. Mckee settle into
long and steady stride.
After all, it isn't hundred-yard
dash, and the new mayor need not
employ quite so much of high
knee action.
Not to be vague about the mat
ter, neither the campaign against
the slot machines nor the suppress
sion of two burleque theaters
seemed to be quite in the most USE
full tradition. I'm all against CEN
Sorship, no matter what it is called,
and yet I find it a little difficult to
go out and bleed and die for any
of the Minskys.
On the other hand, I would find
it equally difficult to work up a
passion of resentment against the
type of entertainment which they
presented. After all, Bridget from

less than a "Jurgen."

sex stlu possesses many of her qualities. We find
1t much more exciting to scrub the front porch than
the pantry since chances for being observed are
better at the former task Nobody notices what is he

Yet the truth is that most of our troubles enanate
from the national pantries. And it is there women
should begin their work Find out the rackets in the
nome town, the extravagances at the county court
house. Remedy them, and the household would be
saved.
TINS connection is interesting to note that Elmer
Davis, well-known political commentator, says we
should scurry around and find the right sort of a
woman, set her up as dictator, and everything would
be improved How that will horrify men!
Davis explains that must not get. any woman
now in public life, since she resembles too much the
male politician Nor any fanatic devoted to principle

But some sensible. middle-aged married woman
please get this-who would apply the same sound
sense to government that she applies to life
Thrift, and cool resolve that does not fear to
lace facts, is necessary This trait Mr.. Davis ex-

Mrs. Poole and her followers have wonderful oppor-
tunity before them. Never have women had such a
chance to show what they do If only they do not
repeat the mistakes OF initiating the men.

THERE are three different dis
Il eases Of the skin which may
affect the region of the beard in
men, and which usually are picked
UP in dirty barber shops.
The scientific names for these
conditions are impetigo, sycosis,
and ringworrn. Ringworm used to
be called BARRIERS itch, but even be-
fore that it was known in England
by the slang term, dirty shave"
DR.. I. H. McCaw of Ireland con-
traSts the way in which these three
diseases begin. Impetigo, the in
lection by the germs that produce
La, begins with small blister. The
germs enter the skin through slight
abrasions, such as may be produced
during shaving.
The blister breaks and clear
serum come out, which contains the
germs. In this way the germs are
spread to the surrounding skin,
where new hlisters form.
Physicians find it rather simple

DUT after several weeks of this

edition Of the entertainment. TIC
my intense surprise I beheld the
liveliest and the heartiest show in
town.
Certain items seems to me in the
worst possible taste, but I learned
long ago that the truly cardinal
crime in the theater is not vulgarity
but language, pretentiousness and
boredom.
They are not in the harlequinade
which I would recommend to every

In any case I trust that Mayor
Mckee is not going to set himself
to the barren task of making New

ties. .
When every problem of housing
and unemployment and stupid waste
is settled, then it may be time

How It's Manufactured

How It's Manufactured
THE process of manufacturing
i artificial wood is described in
detail by Professor Sweeney in his
report.
THE raw materials first are
cooked with water or with a mild
caustic soda solution under a pres
sure Of about fifty pounds" he tells.
THE resulting substance is washed
and cut up in beater until it be-
comes a jelly.
Great care must be taken at this
point in the process to guard
against fermentation, which would
unit the material for further use
and this can be done by adding
formaldehyde or by carrying on the
process at a temperature too great
for bacterial life.
Next the jelly is put through an
evaporation, where the water is re-
moved from it.
Then it is put into molds and
allowed to season, a process which
takes from fourteen days to two or
three months, depending on the size
Of the piece.
The wood can be manufactured
10 approximately $3.50 ton. At
this cost, there undoubtedly will be
considerable demand for it for pur-
poses for which it is peculiarly
fitted, but if we are to help the
farmer by buying his waste prod
ucts, we must make the process
cheaper and create a larger de-
rnand."
