MORRISON DEFENDS
TRADE COMMISSION
Assistant Council Answers Patnan
by Stressing Value Of Finding
Basis for Reforms.

BY the Associated Press.
Charges by Representative Patman,
Democrat, of Texas, that practically
every act of the Federal Trade Com
mission is in violation of the law"
brought statement last night by Mar
tin A. Morrison, assistant chief coun-
sci of the commission, in memoran-
dunn prepared for the commission at
the request Of Chairman March.
Saying "Mr. Patman speaks OF the
commissions investigation of public
utilities as being of no value" Morri-
son answered:
"It is already known that the COM
mission has rendered a public service
of incalculable value which is being
more and more reflected In the busi-
ness codes of public utilities and will
become the basis of future legislation
not only by the Congress, but by the
States"
On Patman's criticism of the cotton
seed industry investigation, Morrison
said the commission was directed to
discover the facts and report them to
the Senate, adding Patman praises"
the commissions work when he said
"'These volumes of testimony disclose
one violation of laws after another"

Reviews and News of Washington Theaters.

modern speakeasy; that there should
be Confederate uniforms and Scotch
kits in Pharaoh's court; that the
Lawd should witness a craps game
in person, and that even he Gas he
expresses it, should have to suffer
to find out mercy and goodness in
the midst of the SHINING mortals
he had created.
Yet, in spite of the seeming crudity
Of thought and the strangely un-
conventional garb of actor and man,
and the Negro songs, which in no
way reflect the speeches of the
good book" THE Green Pastures"
is the nearest thing to the religious
theater that this age has produced.
1t is impossible to describe or ex-
plain its power and its effect. Just
as 1t Is impossible to say why you
are so curiously moved during its
playing. It is a fact, however, that
when the curtain has come down
for the last time you have a feeling
Of tremendous respect for the mar
ration which you have witnessed.
And you are moved far beyond the
powers Of the most bewildering
tragedy.
There is no tragedy, of course, in
this-except the realization that the
childlike faith of man is fast disap-
pearing in a thankless world. Even
as the Lawd looks out of his office
window onto the earth, which is far
below, you wonder If the cries Of
Hezdrel for help and protection,
which he hears in the midst Of the
earth's slavery, aren't synonymous
with the cries which some of the
earth is offering up today. The
repetition OF history, the ups and
downs in career of man since he
was formed in the person of Adam,
are brought potently to mind. And
this fable" becomes more and more
reality in spite of its fanciful origin.

there have been many attempts
to replace him. Now we have Caesar,
in Trailing the Killer" which
opened at the Columbia yesterday.
Billed as "the first talking picture
of wild animal life in the raw" it
deals with one mountain lion (flerce,
and the villain), wildcats (vicious
little animals, but so tied up in this
picture they are very tame), rattle
snake Ca real denizen of our wilds),
several sheep and six or seven cum
ming puppies. What, for instance,
Surely they are bad enough to have
a place in picture Of wild life.
The plot is rough, what there is of
it-and a typical shot is Caesar
running madly across plains evading
civilization on one side and a panther
on the other, or one Of his pups
squeezing himself into hollow tree
just out of reach of the mountain
lions claws and looking askance
with cooked head as If to say. "Why
do you growl at me when I want to
play?" There are a few exciting
moments supplied when Caesar kills
a rattlesnake and when he tangles
with the villainous mountain lion.

WHY MILLIONS BREATHE
VAPEx FOR HEAD-COLDS
They've found that no other remedy
brings such swift, sure relief

BREATHE Vapex the next time
you're suffering with 4 cold. No
tice how swift and effective it is
>. how the sniff1es and stuffed-up
feeling disappear with the first few
deep breaths.
That's because Vapex has one
decided advantage. You breathe it.
1t penetrates where drops, gar
giles, salves and sprays are not
likely to reach. Only a vapor like
Vapex can actually get to the real
seat of a cold the maze of
hidden breathing passages
safely and naturally.
Breathing Vapex brings almost
instant relief from distress. And
tends to stop your cold at the
start, for it also has a remarkable
germ-killing power. Yet it's safe
for babies as well as grown-ups.
Why not try breathing the de-
ightful vapor for your next cold?
No muss-just a sprinkle on your
handkerchief or pillow. No fuss
just breathe naturally, vapex does
the rest. Sold at all druggists.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRl,
Suggestion.

IF teacher and parents only knew
how strong the influence s6f their
suggestions to children is, they
i would spend less time and energy
on commands and more on discov-
ering how to make hints effective.
There is truth in the adage "A hint
Is as good as kick"
Hints are not always expressed in
words. They are far too subtle in their
nature for such crude expression. A
sigh. smile. a wink, gesture, and the
thing is done. There has been regis
! tered in the mind of the child an idea
| for future use
Why, Simon, thought you were 60
ing to stay for tea with grandma this
evening""
II was, but she didn't want me-"
Nonsense. Don't talk that way about
your grandmother. OF course, she want
ed you.'
"I'm not talking that way, ma, Gram
was all right. She just didn't want me
! to stay tonight, so I said good-by and
came along home"
did she say she didn't want you?"
Goodness I'm not so dumb that she
has to put me out of the house. No,
of course not. / knew she didn't want
me and came home. There's nothing
to make fuss about. She has a right
not to want me to stay to tea, hasn't
she?"
What I'd like to know is why you
say your grandmother did not want you
to stay to tea when you admit that she
did not say So think your tmagina-
tion must be working overtime. Or
maybe you didn't want to stay"
"I'd have stayed if Gram had wanted
me to, but she didn't. 1 know when
I'm not wanted and it's quite all right
with me-"
Mother couldn't let it go at that so
she called Gram on the telephone.
He's right. I sent him home because
Jessie is coming for tea tonight and
she dislikes boys and he would have
been miserable. I didn't think it was
necessary to tell him so. I just let him
see that"
"Oh." said mother. II just won-
dered."
Boys and girls have trick of listen
ing to what you think rather than to
like them and when you don't. They
| when you do not They are quick to
feel that you are troubled, doubtful,
afraid. and they respond to your feel
ings as the needle to the pole. They
watch what you do and record it and
| when they are placed in a like situation
they do as YOU did Not that you said
| anything. Your manner. your behavior,
your whole attitude suggested an idea
| and it caught.
Most of the teaching we do. the truly
effective teaching. is done indirectly and
by suggestion. The tones Of cur voices.
/ the quality of them, the expression of
H~A -. 1f l. ASxy
speak loudly though We remain un-
conscious of their influence.
When a child's behavior troubles you
| it might be well to search for the sug-
gestion that is at work in his environ
! ment and attend to that rather than
to the action itself. which is usually but
the symptom of the underlying condi-
ton. A hint Is a powerful force.
though it be expressed by so slight a
thing as glance.

Hostess, Guest. Mistress.

~ HY DEAR MRS. POST: My
N husband would like to in
w vite a former college rcom-
mate of his for the week
end. but insists that I must
find out from you whether fussing'
too much over guests is not in bad
taste. I contend that must look after
every need of guest, but he says this
is overdone in our house"
Answer: I can't answer definitely
about your individual situation. But,
having provided the best accommoda-
ton and food and entertainment you
can, you really must not fuss, or get
into an agitated state Of mind. Above
all, don't imagine that your guest is
not having a good time unless during
every moment of his stay he is@being
rushed, tourist fashion, from this oc-
cupation to that. If he is silent for a
few minutes, do not think he is bored
and wonder what you can do to divert
him. If he prefers to read. don't in
terrupt every half page to ask whether
he would rather do something else.
One of the most appealing qualities a
guest can possibly find is restfulness.
Remember that!
Dear Mrs. Post: When I am an
overnight guest and know that before
the bed I slept in is remade, all the
linen will be changed and the room
cleaned, is it in this instance necessary
to turn the covers back over the foot
Of the bed, or how should they be left?"
Answer: Leave them any way you
choose. 1t does not matter to any one
but you
my Dear Mrs. Post: I have two
young ladies boarding with me. When
they have their friends come in and
am present in the living room, is it
proper for me to rise or keep my seat?"
Answer: If they are younger than
you, keep your seat. This is because,
although you, own the house. your
boarders are hostesses to their own
guests.
Dear Mrs. Post: Within a short
time I expect to marry a man Who
lives out of town and has large he. 7e
and many servants. When I reach My
new home and the servants are in
line for presentation to me, will you
please tell me what I say"
Answer: I can't imagine that they'll
be in line, but if they are, you smile,
say, How do you do" and then say,
Il hope you will be very happy with
me-" Or if you see them individually
say, How do you do, Ellen Cor James,
I'm very glad to see you.'
Dear Mrs. Post: NY husband and I
want to join a neighboring golf club,
but as We do not know any of the men,
bers well enough to ask them to pro-
pose our names, we don't know how to
proceed. Can you tell uS?"
Answer: I wish I knew how to ad-
wise you. The real question is how to
meet the necessary number of men,
bers and how to make them like you
enough to want to put you up for
membership! Or it is possible that
the club you have in mind is open to
every one who lives in the neighbor-
hood. Can't you find this out? If
there Is no other way of finding out,
you might write to the secretary of the
club and ask whether there is any way
strangers may be given the privilege of
playing on the course.

One of the things that used to amaze
me was the striking resemblance OF
child to one CT other Of its parents. AS
I thought the matter over. however. my
amazement was that they did not look
even more like the parents.
So your doctor or the insurance doctor
is naturally anxious about your his
tory; your family doctor because he
may help you to avoid various ailments,
and the insurance doctor, because he
doesn't want to take too many chances
in recommending to the company that
you be given insurance. As you know,
the value of your insurance policy de-
pends upon the care taken by the in
surance doctors when you are examined.
Your chances CT living to reasonable
age are all figured out not only by the
examination, but also by the medical
history of your family.
This doesn't mean that you must
necessarily suffer from these family all
ments and be free from those from
which they were free. It does mean,
however, that you are more likely to
have the same family history. And the
knowledge of this family history should
help you to live sanely.

engagement gifts, ought to be returned

held good in my own case-I was mar

tons If you deserted your husband
Immediately. you might return presents
