We Must Import. Too

Secretary of Commerce Roper has
performed public service by remind
ing us that imports as well as exports
are essential to any trade recovery.
Pointing out that we have no right
to expect foreign nations to give more
generous treatment to our exports
than we give to theirs, Roper said:
1T is fundamental that we cannot
sell goods to other nations without
permitting them to sell goods to us.
This means a mutually profitable ex-
change OF SURPRISES"
This is fundamental, to be sure
but it is q fact that we have lost
sight OF In the last few years. OF
course, 1t doesn't follow that we must
let foreign nations tell us how high
our tariff rates are to be. But it
does mean that we must be ready to
buy, as well as ready to sell if inter-
national trade is to revive.

Continuing northward, the street
mounts an elevated structure to skirt

STAINS, HERE AND THERE
For all this pretentiousness, Park
Avenue has its little Irregularities. It
was to q certain apartment at No.
277, for instance, that police went the
other day and found a roulette resort
in operation. The chips, and there
were large stacks Of them, were
marked from SIS to $4,000 apiece .
Then there's the little cluster of old
brick buildings, standing out like a
stain on stiff shirt bosom, be-
tween Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth
streets. They're part of an estate
that hasn't been settled yet, so Moth
ing can be done about them. Mean
while police keep an eye on prospec-
tive tenants, for mail-order racketeers
would like nothing better than to rent
rooms there in order to acquire q
Park Avenue address.
In general, though, social Park
avenue Is all that it should be, cor
rect and imposing-untn it accom-
plishes a weird transition at Ninety

subway repair shops. And q little

All neurologists (lerve specialists,

toners to the contrary notwithStand-
ing, physiology offers no ground for
the common fallacy that the nervous ,
system is the source Of power or that

they are "overtaxed" or strained IN

standing who disputes this teaching.
Many wiseacre reading this Is al
ready marshalling in his thoughts bits
of evidence which, he imagines, Will
give me something to think about II
it doesn't actually shake my position.
That is indeed the reason why large
portion of the population Is 50 I'M
peryious to health education. In mat
tiers pertaining to health most Amer
lean laymen are wiseacres, and you
have to use heavy mallet on them
before you can teach them anything.
When anybody becomes run down
and exhausted from insufficient sleep
(this is one Of the wiseacre ar gu
ments) IS it not the nervous system
that is depleted and weakened? OF
course not. Practically no energy Is
required for thinking or for the car
rying of messages by the nerves. The
person who gets insufficient sleep SUI

fuel, blood sugar, glycogen, animal
starch runs short. All the while he
remains awake his organs III not his
muscles) are expanding this avail

metabolic machinery can replenlSh II.
1t is precisely the same effect, though
perhaps not so obvious to the wise
acre mind, as though the individual
were forced to keep running or walk

in marathon races.
We sometimes forget. we wiseacres,
that not only the skeletal muscles,
but the heart, the lungs and all the
vital organs (the brain Is not vital
organ) do more work and use more
energy when one is in the erect or
sitting posture than when one lies
down, and further that more energy
is used when one lies down and re-
mains awake than during sleep. Nor
mally the heart beats 10 or IL times
less in the minute when a person lies
down than when he sits or stands.
During sleep the pulse rate Is still
slower, and thus the heart gets rest
along with the other vital organs.
The little lesson In all this Is quite
simple: The exhaustion or run down
condition due to insufficient sleep Is

They'll Tackle Anything

They'll Tackle Anything
Highest laurel on the brow Of
science. perhaps, is its willingness tx
dare anything in an attempt to
achieve the impossible.
The marvels which it has produced
in recent years are proof Of resource
fulness and meticulous care as well as
tremendous Imagination with regard
to mechanics.
At the same time we have been
prone to overlook the fact that men
just as persistent and just as re-
sourceful have been working on old
mother nature in an effort to improve
her methods and implements of pro-
duction. Here In the northwest we
have some distinguished scientists
who have, perhaps, contributed more
to real progress than all of our po-
litical loudspeakers put together.
Fruits, vegetables and animals have
come within their ken and most Of
US are aware Of the improvements
made but we had presumed that in
sects were too small to be noticed
and too insignificant to lend them
selves to scientific achievement.
This view, 1t seems, is wrong. For
some noted scientists now are at work
trying to develop honey bees with
longer tongues, larger and stronger
wings for longer flights and larger
honey sacs for carrying bigger loads
Of nectar.
The movement came about as a re-
suit Of cleaner farming. the telling OF
woodlots and poison campaigns which
have reduced the number Of humble
bees and other wild insects. These
played an important part in polliniz-
mig fruits, clovers and other blooming
things. In some things there Is no
production without pollinization and
the problem was real one. It was
thought the honey bee was unable to
do this work on some plants because
its tongue was too short to reach in
to the corolla tubes. Later 1t was
found that they were capable of do
ing the Job but that, in 50 doing, they
failed to produce any honey.
The effort to improve the bees fol-
lowed. Nature may get along with
permitting such specialistic habits
but not modern science. The plan
now Is to make the honey bee do
double duty.

"A boyl" Nita Mailman cried,
bending over the bed in which Lily

Lily Lou shook her head. She

WOOSTER, Ohio September al
The barnyard bill of fare has new

declares that herd owners may forget
about feeding their prize cows bran or
oats and give them the brewers grains
that are a by-product OF the beer vats.
The mailing process in beer making
takes most Of the starch out of the
barley and corn used, leaving a bulky
product with high crude fiber content
and most of the protein, fat and min
eral water
Already brewers grains have ap-
peared on the market in wet form and
the supply will increase as soon as
the beer concerns have an opportunity
to install drying equipment, Perkins
says.
