Beauty Industry Supports
New Industrial Code

Madame Rubinstein, now in Paris
collaborating with famous continental
scientists on beauty preparations, was
enthusiastic in her approval OF the
new industrial plan and on August
5th cabled the following to Mr.. Roose-
welt: "Details National Recovery Act
and the proclamation just reached me
here. I pledge complete and enthusi-
astic acceptance National Recovery
Act recommendations for my entire
organization throughout the United
States. Am doubly happy to comply
because I feel that women both en-
ployers and consumers have unique
OPPORTUNITIES to make distinctive on
tributions to the economic upbuilding
of America in accordance with your
constructive and humane policies
(signed) HELENA RUBINsTE1N.
When the news of President Roose-
velt's proclamation of the National
Recovery Act first reached the noted
beauty authority last week, she imme-
diately telephoned over the Trans
Atlantic wires to her New York office,
asking for more details. With this in
formation she accepted, without hest
tation, the Presidents plan and joined
with other American industrial lead
ers in giving her cooperation to this
nationwide movement.

dropped out of the days news. The
President had been given the pow
ers he wanted, and nothing drastic
happened. 1t looked as if they
wouldn't be used after all.
Now initiation is preparing to
take its place in the headlines
again. The Administrations de-
sire for a managed dollar" has not
agated; it was simply shelved for a
time while other and more pressing
matters were being hkndled. A
managed dollar is one which, in
terms of buying power, does not
deviate in value; it will buy as many
eggs, automobiles, suits of clothes
and what-not one year as the next.
Our present kind of dollar is con-
stantly deviating. Where its buying
power, on the basis of a fixed nor
NAL, was sixty or seventy cents at
the height of the boom, it rose to
$50 at the low in commodity
prices we reached last summer and
fall.
The President has two courses
open in initiating the currency.
Most obvious course is to lower
the gold content of each dollar.
Then by varying it from time to
time, the dollar will theoretically
possess a constant value, and will
be immune to important varia+
tons. Another course is to order
the Federal Reserve to buy large
blocks of government securities in
the open market, thus expanding
the Federal credit. This would not
create a stable dollar; it would,
however, be tremendously helpful
in providing a market for new
Treasury securities.
Opponents of initiation say that
the managed dollar is a golden
dream which is impossible of reali-
eaton, and point to the disastrous
effects of extreme initiation in
Germany and elsewhere. Admin
lstration spokesman say that mis-
carriage of a plan doesn't necessa-
rily mean the plan is wrong. The
public, confused by technicalities,
is simply in a waiting mood.

COMMENT

OF ALL THE VIRTUES, SHE
HOLDS THERE is NONE TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF LOVE.
To The Editor:
The news item under the caption
Urges Hickory, Bible in Child
Training" in which Judge John M.
oglesby presents his opinion, has
gwen impetus to a desire of mine
tor expression along this line.
The judge declares that lack of
discipline in the formative years of
children is largely responsible for
the crime that follows in more ma
ture years and suggests as a cura-
tive, or rather a preventative, for
this condition the use of a hickory
stick and the ZEN commandments.
This has brought to my mind the
forcefulness of the beauty and
strength which underIies the words
OF that infinitely lovely letter of
St. Paul to the Corinthians con-
stituting the 18th chapter of his
first epistle to them in which he
shows irrefutably that without love
al else is futile and hopeless.
Love is indeed the fulfilling of
the law and is applicable to the
problems of children through the
expressions Of patience, kindness,
! gentleness and an understanding
heart on the part of those whose
duty and privilege it is to have the
moulding of children's lives placed
in their hands.
We can none of us deny the in
valuable use of discipline and we
all know or should know that the
Ten Commandments are a basic
foundation for the laws governing
our land, but let us lot lose sight
of the fact that discipline and law
unaccompanied by a loving heart
are lost upon most of us, especially
are they lost upon children.
+ l dare say there are more crimi-
mails and near criminals today for
lack of love and understanding in
early years than from any other
cause whatsoever.
A little child is without guile and
is full of confidence and trust, he
will respond to you if you meet
him halfway, you are much larger,
wiser and Older han he YOU know;
YOU must take him by the hand as
+ were and lead him gently, teach
Inn wisely and when he makes mis-
takes which of course he will. cor
rect him kindly and patiently as
you would like to be corrected were
your positions reversed;-As you
so do this you will be moulding a
citizen who will respect you and the
laws of his land and one will come
to know for a surety that God is

New Constitution

Declaring that the proposed new
state constitution is deficient not
simply in what it does, but what ii
fails to do Attorney-Genera Den
mis- Brummitt made rejoinder tc
the statement of A. ]. Maxwell
commissioner of revenue, published
in the state papers August l.
The attorney general declare:
that the proposed new constitution
would do these things:
l. Further centralize govern
ment and concentrate its powers
in the hands of the executive;
2. Instead of setting up needfu]
and enforceable restraints in pro-
lection of the separation of the
legislative and executive powers,
it would break down some of those
now existent;
3. Apply the short ballot to the
public school system and thus in
crease the opportunity to POLITICAL
ize the public schools;
4. Increase and strengthen the
opportunity of the political ma
chine and the special interests to
control government, local and
State;
s.. Confer upon the Governor
the veto power in such form that
by holding the General Assembly
in long sessions, as happened in
1881 and 1888, it would be i'm
possible to pass a bill over his veto;
6. Remove every definite and
useful restriction on the power ct
taxation, enormously extend the
field of taxation, permit, without
a vote of the people, the levy of
taxes for anything a court would
hold to be a public purpose, to
any extent, in any form, without
any limit, and by any system of
Classification and without relation
to benefits conferred or ability to
pay, short of what a court might
declare to be confiscation.

Here is how improved business il

General Motors-Last ye1r it had

90c per share.
U. S. Industrial AlcohoI-Prcfits
in first half of 1892 came to S52,-
600; same period in 1888, S229,-
600.
All business haven't had an
equally happy quarter or half-year.
But the general trend of profits is
definitely upward. Most import
ans of all is sharp improvement in
the earnings Of small businesses
whose fortunes don't constitute
headline news. They represent the
bulk of American capital invest
ment, and their position is a great
deal more solid than it was even a
month or two ago.
There is a black spot in the in
dustrial outlook-retail trade,
which is still in an extremely de-
pressed state. Best fact of all is
that the upturn has been in prog
ress for four months without a set
back. The fost stable barometers
car loadings, electric power, steel
output-indicate continued i'm
provement. During June there was
an Is per cent increase in man
hours worked in mtnu13 acturing
plants, as compared with May.
Wage totals showed a 10 per cent
jump, while cost of living went up
less than one per cent. So far,
purchasing power is advancing
much more rapidly than prices.
Welfare agencies in most, cities re-
port that requests for relief are
we'll below former levels. A re-
markable feature of recovery is that
improvement has been largely ap-
parent in heavy industries. Ac-
cording to the Federal Reserve
Board, this is the first time that

Doctors Advice On PILES
Internal Treatment Best and
 Guaranteed-He Says

When Dr J. s. Leonhardt, who has given many years of his life to the study of the treatment of blind, bleeding and protruding piles, says and has proved that the right and best way to gain freedom from this Agonizing trouble is to take Hem Roid, why go on dallying with ointments, suppositories or think of an operation?
 Remove the cause and your piles will vanish no matter how severe they are or how long you have suf- fered.
 That is why Apothecaries Hall Co and all modern druggists are authorized to say to every Pile sufferer--get bottle of Hem- Roid tablets and then if your piles have not gone-get your money back you'll be joyfully satisfied with the quick action of this efficient formula.
 A Massachusetts man writes: T constantly suffered from piles-the first bottle of Hem-Roid ended my trouble"
