DON'T QUOTE ME
(By the United Press)

Washington, March 23. (UP)- Charles c. Dawes, president of the finance corporation, has gained great fame from his underslung pipes, but the specta- cles of Eugene. Meyer, his con- fierce and governor of the Federal Reserve board, have been over- looked.
 Meyer has 20 pair of spectacles He keeps eight at his office. An even dozen remain at home. He usually has three pair with him one on his nose and a couple In his pocket.
 His spectacles are of all kinds When the public sees him he usually wears pince-nez with a black ribbon. But when he SC. cludes himself in his office for a long pull at his desk he dons heavy, tortoise shell trimmed spec tacles which are easier on the nose. Then he has another heavy pair for golf, big ones for motor ing. and rimless and fine. white- gold trimmed ones for formal wear.
 Recently he had the prescription for his lens changed. He had a dozen sets of lenses made up in the first order. They cost $84. He has given them a try-out and likes them. So now he Is having eight more sets made.
 Dawes pipe collection outnum- bers Meyers spectacles consider. ably.
 It numbered "A pipes at last count. Most of them are the fa- nous Dawes underslung variety. Nine are fine English pipes given him while he was in London as ambassador to the court of st James. He likes to show them and can tell you that "so-and-so gave me this one" and "this Is the one I smoked" at such h-nnd-such q function. He points with especial pride to one he used while on an archaeological expedition in France. It's all marked and scratched from hard usage.
 Another favorite Dawes calls his "Collegiate Peipe." It is n smalled- bowled, prettily-shaped affair. given him by friend in Chicago.
 Speaker of the House Garner noted that the Rev James Shera Montgomery. chaplain. has a habit of, standing on one foot, when he says his morning prayers in the house. He asked the Rev why that was.
 "It seems strange" chided Mont- gomery. "that your attention should be upon my feet when l pray"
 But the next day. In the midst of the prayer. Montgomery apparent ly thought of what Garner had said. He suddenly corrected his position and planted both feet firmly on the floor.

Cut Those Rates

Weeks have passed since the people Of this city,
acting through city officials and the South Side Civic
Clubs, asked the public service commission for re-
duction of rates on electricity and water
The first response of Commissioner Cuthbertson
was that it would cost much money to appraise the
properties of the two monopoies and that when the
hearing was over there was always the danger that
rates might be raised. He suggested conferences
The conferences have been held. The utilities were
arrogant and suggested that if the people fought they
wouIu ne punished.
In the meantime, the commission itself ordered the
electric rates at Marion reduced by 20 per cent The
rates charged in that smaller city much lower
than those in this city In general the rates for cleo
tricy are lower in large cities That is the rule Of
the companies. Small communities pay the most
If the rates in Marion were too high, then the
rates in this city very much too high
If Marion was entitled to a 20 per cent reduction,
the people of this city should be entitled to 40 per
cent cut.
There is enough in the reports of the electric COM
pany to the commission to justify immediate cut
in rates. The cost of coal, purchased from a sub
sdiary Of the holding company which owns the
stock Of the company suggests collision to eXtort
excess profits from the people.
The charges for engineering and other fees, the
high cost of operation management are factors that
would convince free and untrammelled commission
Of the justice of this citys demand.
Aside from the holding company gouge, there are
other figures in the reports that demand redress.
The people pay for the maintenance of radio
station at loss in competition with privately owned
station which not pass along its problems to
defenSeless electric consumer.
The people pay for the loss and it is large, in the
retail store for appliances owned by the company.
That store operates in competition with the mer-
chant who is thus forced to contribute to the losses
of his rival
The time has come for action and quick action.

The Time Has Come

Americans must not starve Americans should be
fed from the federal treasury they can't be fed any
other way.
On this point, at least no disagreement exists be-
tween Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and
liberals, bankers, business men, poor men, victims.

unemployment relief Endorsed it when he was before

Clifford and others who oppose the bill. But the

The situation is not being taken care of.
Within the last few days Senator La Toilette and
Costigan have laid before the senate an overwhelm
ing mass of evidence to support this statement Let
ters from officials of 80 cities and from every mpor
tant social agency in the country have been put into
the record
The number of unemployed is greater and still
growing. Private and public agencies spending
for relief this winter than before and most
of them scraping the bottom of their chests.
The revenues Of local governments have fallen off.
Several hundred of them have reached the point
where they can borrow no more money. And hun
dreds OF thousands of children, and of and
women who still are getting scraps of food, still
managing to keep alive, are nearer the starvation
point.

What proof do they want? Must they have bread
riots? Must they have thousands of human beings
lying dead in the streets?" Sidney Hlman asked last
fall, and his question is more poignant today.
Two hundred fifteen cities still say they care
for their own But what of the rest? What of the
needy unfortunate enough to live in of the other
cities?
On the basis of undisputed evidence before
congress- the federal government should act at
to save its hungry citizens.

Just Every Day Sense
BIZ MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IF there's anything in mental suggestion it's Won
Il der any marriages turn out happily. Women, es-
peciay, always greet the news of an unexpected we'd
ding with dismal prophecies. A young girl marrieS a
man good deal older than she is, and you hear
them wall ooh, dear Oh, dear! How tragic. All her
girhood lost Why, hes old enough to be her father
Or a Spinster picks out mate who is younger than
she and the chant begins Gracious, goodness!
How could she have been silly Wouldn't you think
old fool, they say"
And if couple of Youngsters elope at college or a
wdower takes unto himself second wife in the form
Of q widow of his own age the anvil chorus begins.
YET matter of fact each of these marriages,
every marriage indeed has about the chance for
success as does for failure For large part of that
thing we call luck in matrimony is nothing than
the sense that is brought to the union by the
persons entering into it.
TXTOMEN, however, have certain romantic notions
w about who should marry whom and at what age
both men and women should assume the responsible
ties of home life Let any person deviate the slight
est from these hard and fast rules, and Immediately
the drge of failure begins.
Yet we know that hundreds of thousands of young
girls have remained the happy wives of men older
than themselves, and that mulitudeS Of of have
lived contentedly with wives whose years were more
than their own.
We know that Opponents often turn out we'll and
that second marriages for the middle aged have result
ed in the finest kind Of companionshp and love.
Marriage is the perfect state for men and women.
Why, then, do we talk so much about fate and fail
ure? For fate has nothing to do with such things.
Successful marriages built by the determination
and patience and intelligence of the husband and the
wife. And marriage is foredoomed to failure with
such qualities at hand.

A brace was planned which
helped him to hold himself in the
proper position, and when the pa
tent got back on his feet, he was
taught how to use his body more
correctly in the sitting, standing
and bending positions.
When he finally learned how to
sit and stand correctly, his back
ache and indigestion cleared up,
and he was asked to change his
routine of life so as to overcome his
constant fatigue.
This record is an indication of
an immense amount of study and
the care necessary in order to take
care properly of a patient with
backache.
The diet, the amount of fluids
taken and the amount of rest are
all important. It is not possible
merely to treat the painful point
and to take it for granted that that
will relieve the condition.

testing Roosevelt

T CANNOT even laugh at the I'M
4 conscious jest of Franklin Roose-
welt. Governor Roosevelt ran for
Vice-President on a League of Ma
lions platform, but now he disownS
it and gives his reasons. Here they
are:
But the League of Nations today
is not the league conceived by
Woodrow Wilson. It might have
been had the United States joined.
Too often, through these years, its
major function has been not the
broad, overwhelming purpose Of
world peace but, rather, mere
meeting place for the discussion Of
strictly European national diff
culties."'
A man who made a solemn en-
gagement with a trio of friends for
a bridge game hardly would have
the right to complain because they
were reduced to playing three
handed when he failed to put in an
appearance. We who plucked out
the very eyes of the league now
point with scorn because it gropes
and sturnbleS.
And consider the closing flourish
in the speech of the Governor of the
state of New York.
1.-THE highest ideals of America
demand that, with strict adherence
to the principles of Washington, we
maintain our international freedom
and at the same time offer leader
ship to a sorely tried humanity"
