GEN. JOHNSON'S FUTURE

NEWS that General Hugh s. johnson prob
ably will resign from his position as re-
covery administrator late this fall is likely to
provide the ordinary citizen with conflicting
emotions.
1t is highly gratifying, of course, to learn
that the general expects the program to be
so complete and well-established that he will
not be needed more than few weeks longer.
The mere fact that he is looking ahead to
retirement indicates that a great amount of
success has crowned his efforts.
But most Americans, undoubtedly, will be
sorry to see him step down. He has been a
tremendously useful public official; he seems,
besides, to be one Of the most likable men
the government ever has employed.
1t won't seem quite right, somehow, not to
have breezy General johnson on the job at
Washington.

The Times is keeping up its repu-
tation by permitting nonchurch-
men to state their side and why
they do not attend church.
Not long ago a Methodist ad-
mitted to me that his church was
going backward in membership
From Philadelphia comes the re-
port that the Presbyterians hao
sustained a one-year net loss OF
fl ,087 up to March 81, but that at
Eastertime there is an ingathering
of members which is not included
in this report.
Also. 82448 names have been
taken off the communicate men,
bership rolls "for failure to con-
form to requirements" The COM
municant membership of the church
was announced as 1,968,788 which
would indicate tremendous low.

gaining by leaps and bounds and
making converts from Roman
Catholics and orthodox Protestants
All admit thai there is something
wrong with our social order, but
would the clergy proclaim a last
ing remedy if it we're convincing to
them that it forever would abolish
unemployment?
Forty years ago, the Rev. Edward
McGlynn was communicated for
advocating the single tax PROPOSE
ton of Henry George, but was re-
instated without recanting. Cardinal
O'Connell did not succeed in silenc-
ing fearless Father Charles E.
Coughlin.
The Rev. A. H. Kenna of Roberts
Park Methodist church was not so
long ago transferred TO st. Louis
Was it because he permitted lee
lures on labor and capital to be held
in a small auditorium of the
church?
There's a reason" for the drift
away from the churches.

5000. 900 FEWER HOGS

VXTHEN the French peasants were unen-
Ndurably oppressed by the depression
which brought on the French revolution. they
started cutting the Threats Of their landlords
So did the farmers of Russia when the hard
times of 1917 led to a revolution.
And in America today the farmers, des-
perately trying to get out of the pit of hard
times. are also starting to cut Threats. They
are beginning to cut the throats-of 100000
hogs, under Uncle Sans supervision.
The parallel between these cases isn't so
far-fetched as you might think. If the French
and Russian governments had had the sense
to try some agricultural relief scheme, such as
this current -butchering plan, they might
have prevented a whole lot Of trouble.

RdU Deal

By BARRIERS Wife.
TINE hearts of the people were
l. lifted when our beloved Pres
ident held out light for the over
burdened people.
I have worked side by side with
my husband (wto is barber) all
through the depression to try to
make ends meet, and live real
American home life, regardless of
the wolves in sleeps clothing that
prof1teered on every corner.
Now the real reason I am writ
ing this is to ask, Are your family
physicians going to be excluded
from doing their bit on these
medical examinations? If so,
why? Or are those leeches 60
ing to be allowed to charge 81
for their services of a few mo-
ments, that will take a barber
approximately one third of
week to pay, as the average bar
Der is not making more than
from SO to $12 week
That is not fair, and I know
that our President would not ap-
prove of it. Along with that
there is So license fee, another
new sterilizer, and, figuring it all
together, it will mean just about
one weeks salary to satisfy the
leeches, and let the pet doctors get
their dip of the poor mans blood.
Grocers are charging 8 cents
more than they did July l for a
pound of cottage cheese. They
get cents more on a pound Of
pork chops. The barber is one of
the consumers, and is paying their
prices, when he can, or doing
without.
Its time for the investigators
to get busy and correct some of
these highway robberies, and it's
time for the housewives to report
what they actually are doing
to us.
BARRIERS prices and wages
have not increased, so why should
groceries and other living ex-
penSeS?

Dwarfing May Be Due to Gland Deficiency

curve inwards so that the buttocks
are projected backward.
The head is usually large; in
fact, it seems exceptionally large
in relationship to the size of the
rest of the body.
No one knows exactly the cause
of this condition, but it is believed
to be related in some way TO a
deficiency of secretions of certain
glands. Neither is there any known
method of treatment that is worth
while
There are other forms of dwarf
ing due to absence of the secretions
of various glands, particularly the
pituitary gland, which supplies the
growth hormone, or secretion, to the
! body.
In the absence of this secretion,
the entire body fails to grow salts
factorily.

A MONG the remarkable exhibits
IN at the Century of Progress Ex-
position in Chicago is considerable
number of midgets and dwarfs of
various types.
In some cases the persons exhib-
tied are sufferers from a condition
known sachondroplasia, in which
there is an absence of bone forma-
ton or disturbance of development
Of the bones, which takes place be-
fore the child is born, and con-
tinues thereafter.
Occasionally this condition occurs
in several members of the same
family. Sometimes it is associated
with other conditions which cause
dwarf1ng, such as cretinism, which
is due to an absence of the secretion
of the thyroid gland.
These individuals seldom develop
fully, being mentally defective and
seldom living to advanced years.

Editor Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association of Hygeia. the
Health Magazine.

The most striking feature of per-
son with achondroplasia is the dis
proportion between the size of the
trunk and that of the limbs.
The trunk usually is normal in
length, but narrow, due to shortneSs
of the ribs. The arms and legs are,
however, much too short, frequently
being only half the normal length.
The hands of such people are pc
culiar, being broad and very short.
Moreover, when the hand is put
down the fingers do not lie parallel,
but spread out.
Because of the shortness of the
legs such people walk with a wad-
ding gait and, as they grow older,
there is a tendency for the back to

but to the national sense of fairness
and honor.
And such injustice can have but
one logical result. 1t will be the
means Of keeping thousands of men
out of work, because the employers,
many of who already are at their
wits end to meet the pay roll, nat
urally will hire women when they

for less money, and still remain pa
triots- Man loves his sex, but not

IF not for justice, then for their
l. own protection, men should pro-
test the wage determinations against
women which, it seems, we may ex-
pect under the New Deal.
In many industries the code
clearly states the wage scale and,
in several instances. women are to
get less for the same work than
men. Why, for example, should the
code for small newspapers set the
minimum wage for mans mechan-
ical labor at 20 cents and for wom-
ems mechanical labor at 80 cents an
hour2
Because we still do not under
stand what equality means. The

sively in the NRA instructions. is a

be an excellent idea to howl for

But 1 can see nothing in the let

tions of the National Recovery Act
which suggests that free and full
criticism of the measure, in whole
or part, is to be barred.
It is almost ironical to suggest
that the chief figures in the admin
istration have put any soft pedal on
criticism. 1t was General Hugh S.
Johnson who predicted weeks ago,
Pretty soon the air is going to be
filled with dead cats"
While it is true that he has re-
ceived some of the most rapturous
praise every bestowed on anybody
in American public life, plenty of
cats have flown past his head And
nobody as yet has reported any re-
prisals. ..

One Round of Abuse

DUT think the weekly goes too
Id far when it seems to say that
nobody has a right to "abuse" its
editorial opinions. Why not? That,
I take it, is a part of free speech.
The Nation itself has abused many
people, and mostly very justly.
I see no reason why it should
wish to abridge my right, or the
right of anybody else, to express
the opinion that its present edi-
torial policy in regard to NRA is ex-
tremely fat-headed.
1 agree entirely with the theory
that this is not the time in which
to attempt to regiment thought. In
fact, I cannot conceive of any ma
tional emergency in which 1t is a
useful thing to have everybody
thinking alike. Let the dead cats
fly. The more the better!
The only thing that puzzles and
even shocks me is the strange
spectacle of liberals and radicals
joining hands with some of the
toughest and most reactionary Of
industrial leaders around the tail Of
the selfsame cat.

The undertone in corn remains

Reports of crop damage are the
