years should be avoided to a large degree, but therc will always be some who wait for the last gun to be fired.
 It has been considerable of job, and a needless one, to look up engine number, makers number and an array of other parts per taining to the cars pedigree. As pointed out by the commissioner in a letter to auto owners, all this information has been on file on the state archives since the car was acquired and there is no reason why it should not be entered on the forms sent out to motorists in- stead of compelling them to do it.
 The idea is good and appeals to motorists as a bit of common sense in business. They also will approve the plan of making driver licensing equally Simple. Something similar should be done about the federal income tax forms which seem to call for much information that is repetitions. It is difficult enough for most citizens to raise the money to pay all these taxes without sub jecting lot of tricky information.
 When he gets his system work ing, all Commissioner Confer will ask is signing on the dotted line, which is easy, ana forwarding checks, which is not so easy.

A CODE FOR HUNTERS? .
(Christian Science Monitor.l

Christian Science Monitor.)
 The war is on! The wary moose in the meadow swamp, the fright ened jack rabbit in the thicket. startled waterfowl in marshy CO., verts are retreating before the au- umnal fusillade that marks another open season for wild-game hunters.
 Friends of American wild life will applaud the recent protest voiced by the National Association of Audubon Societies against the use of magazine shotguns by bird hunters over baitcd waters. Their action is a timely rebuke to the wholsale killing of wild fowl.
 Actuated by a humane impulse, the Audubon groups are steadfast- ly holding their ground. Theirs is a cause that challenges the sports manship of overarmed sportsman. And it is really friendly even to hunters. For concerted opposition to the use of rapid-fire guns over baited waters is a definite step to- ward the conservation of the pres ent numbers of wild fowl which Dr T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the Association of Audubon Societies, describes as '.but a pitiful rem nant" of fiocks that once thronged the country's lakes. bays and marshlands.
 This is an open season on codes as well as on wild game. For that reason, the establishment of a code for hunters would be q ume-

 COMPANY UNIONS
 The MIRA with it's Section "a, guaranteeing labor the right to collective bargaining, is dealing a death blow to company unions.
 Private reports on file at the national labor board show that in every test so far workers have overwhelmingly turned thumbs down on emplOyer-Or- ganizcd unions and affiliated with independent labor Organi- zatiOns. The latest instance of this trend occurred last week in Colorado.

 This may give q shock to the ultra conservatives. From their point of view. Holmes remains the old pan terrible, even in his 93d year and in permanent retirement. Yet they may comfort themselves with the thought that he is no longer on the supreme court bench with a vote to cast.
 It may be that Justice Holmes was quietly consulted by the spon- sors of the national industrial re- covery act before it was passed by congress. Prof Felix Frankfurter IS an intimate friend of Justice Holmes and the professor was at that time on the list of confidential White House advisers. In any case, this celebrated jurist seems to have handed down his judgment in lan- guage so terse and odolmatic as to make it easy to remember-"Noth- ing to howl about" But, of course, there will be dissenting opinions.

London Letter
By w. G. QUISENBERRY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

London (UP)-London's jazz maestros are in an agony of inde- cision as they debate whether the public wants it's music sweet or hot
 The Prince of Wales likes it hot. He confided as much to Amelia Earhart one night as they whirled around Cartridges ballroom to the torrid tempo of the "Tiger Rag" Moreover, two of Harlem's fore- most jungle rhythm opponents sell dom have been lionized more than they have here. ..
 Even the staid British Broad casting company has fallen so far under the. Harlem influence that British composers cannot recognize their own tunes over the radio. complains Horatio Nichols, song publisher. British compositions. de- signed to be sweet, are played "hot," with weird Aframerican eff fects that demoralize both com poser and dancers.
 Hot music, however, seems here to stay. Radio and dance music critics give no ear to the complaint that British song-rwiters are starv- ing because of musical pan-Amer-
 
 want their music hot.
 The new dance of the winter Is the Groom. It is danced to a slow. but hot, rhythm like the "St Louis Blues" Extremely practical, 1t can be done easily on q crowded floor where the ordinaryl slow fox trot would be impossible.

 The workers rejection of com papy unions is proving a great shock to employers who seemed to have been convinced that such organizations were popular with labor. Labor leaders, how ever, have long contended that if the workers could express their opinions freely through secret they would repudiate company unions.

APPLE DIET FOR INTESTINAL TROUBLE

As a health teacher deserve great credit Tor take spinach, mashed potato. castor oil or an apple. Perhaps should omit apple. Apples are pretty sometimes, and I don't believe they do any harm if any one should happen to hke em to eat But I'll tell the world that here is doctor you can keep away or drive away with any kind of apples. unless the cookies you serve with 'em are capital.
 Apple pie, that's different. especially If you serve a schooner of foaming raw milk with 1t, fresh from the COW, or at any rate raw--none of your pasteurized stuff, if you please.
 Physicians in Germany have recently discov- cred or rediscovered that applesauce is fine remedy for intestinal disorders in infants ana in adults Raw applesauce, 1t must De. Ihe grated pulp of ripe, peeled. raw apples.
 For the young nursling infant, if fresh apples are not available, Dr Elizabeth Urbanitsky has found a pure applep owder satisfactory This is prepared much banana powder and milk powder is made in this country, by the vacuum drying process, and it keeps through the win ter She gave this to the younger infants as an addition to the bottle by putting a table spoonful in the bottle morning and afternoon, or teaspoonful in each bottle of food pre- pared for the baby.
 Raw apple appears to be beneficial in acute and chronic nutritional disturbances, intestinal infections and intoxications. The apple powder had to be given 'nly for two three days to show it's beneficial effects.
 Apple diet is equally beneficial in alimentary troubles in adults. It has proved remarkably corrective in many cases of diarrhea, acute gastor-enteritis and acute enteritis. dysentery and even paratypho1d. It promptly arrests the diarrhea and restores normal condition.
 For adults the grated pulp of ripe, peeled raw apples is used 1t satisfies both hunger and thirst in these cases. Patients take from one to three pounds of apple in this form daily. In some nothing but apple is given for one, two or three days, and after that day or two of restricted diet, cautiously adding one item at time, and gradual return to or dinary diet. In other cases the apple is in- cluded with a moderately restricted diet Frankly, I've never trusted apple sauce since grandma served some with Jumps in it. On the other hand I have nothing against apples If I could have it hypodermically I'd just as soon take apple a day. Some doctors are tiresome company anyway.

Off the bench as he is, former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is free to express an opinion of the constitutionality of the national int dustrial recovery act, if the mood strikes him. The mood did strike the venerable jurist in writing a little piece for the Yale Daily News. It is not conspicuous for a severely judicial or legalistic style, but the least constitutionally mind ed people con see the drift of it:

 Good news for tourists is the an. nouncement that the primordial gloom of. European railway sta- tions is to be dispelled by a bright ening-up process.
 The cold, dank, atmosphere of stations in Britain, the railways realize, probably has done more than anything elss--next to bad hotels-to keep foreign visitors from returning. By reducing their fares recently, they also found that Englishmen were ready to travel by rail instead of motor cars if conditions could be made slight ly attractive.

There isn't much traffic on the
Potomac River these days, Capt.
Frederick Posey, for IS years a
captain on the Norfolk boats,
lamented today.
There was a time when the
waterfront was lined with river
craft and the waterfront was
longer than it is now.
In these days of high speed
automobiles, fast trucks, trains
and airplanes, Old Man River
has lost out. With the exception
of oil tankers, ocean-going tugs
bringing in tows of oil and the
gas boats of farmers who trans
port their crops to market on the
water, the river is a dull place.
Captains Lament
Most of the old time rivermen
have died and the younger gen.

tunate enough to have berths on

Fishing parties from Washing

Chesapeake Bay.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the nature of the obstruction. At

feet in diameter. An open man.
hole is discernible below the sur
face.
No barnacles have yet become
attached to the tank, indicating
it has not been in the water long,
which puzzles Lighthouse Bureau
officials. 1t lies approximately
six miles due east of Point Look
out in II feet of water.
A lighthouse tender will at
tempt to remove it this week.
If unable to do so, they will
place a buoy over it and request
