shocking way of hobnobbing with all kinds OF

The prince of Wales merely is displaying that
innate intelligence which has not only kept the
British empire alive, but British kings on the
throne.
THE secret of kingcraft is to stay with the

up to the great rabble with which Wat Tyler
threatened to invade London, wheeling his

Most serious of all injuries are
those affecting the brain and the
skull. A conclusion of the brain
means that the brain tissue actually
has been bruised, with possible small
hemorrhages into the tissue.
The first sign of such injury is loss
of memory for recent events. The
least important sign is slight dir

Most important of all, however,
is to get a player promptly off the

If there is any evidence at all

A Pledge Of Reformation

MORE than a year ago I made
1V1 a solemn pledge to reform.
I took on the VOW Of being hard
boiled, and at least twice in this
column I have announced that I
would not read anybody's manu-
script and that if he sent it to me
I would almost certainly lose it.
1t is pity that any Milton
should be mute. But what can I do
about it? If genius sprang up from
the page and logged me in the eye
there would still be no power resi-
dent in me to proclaim it. And,
even more than that, the young
man who has just written a MASTER
piece in crack Drained humor had
best be told the truth at once. His
book may be everything he saws,
and, even so, doesn't he realize that
the chances are at least thirty

Confidence
BY AUSTIN JAMES

BY AUSTIN JAMES
I may be rich in worldly goods,
I may have wealth in gold and such,
But am poor if I have not
The feel Of friendships faithful
touch.
For what is life without a friend
Believing in the things I do,
With confidence in all my thoughts
Who trusts that I will e'er be true.
For I am but lonely man,
AS paltry as the plainest dust,
Though may own the CLEAN of
gems,
But have no soul in me to trust.
I've learned that wealth in all its
prime,
Has naught by way Of recompense,
'Tis only this that makes me rich.
A friends unfailing confidence.

Pan the Workers

BY IL. L. Seeger.
The comedy, or rather the
tragedy, OF the buy now pub
Lefty campaign, like its prede-
cesSorS, is that those whose buy
ing power has been destroyed
are ballyhooed with noise, instead
of restoration of purchase power
The folks who have the money
have bought all they need and
want ana their number is small,
while the multitude which has lost
its purchase power needs every
thing, but lacks the money. Noise
won't correct the situation. It's
the same story as the queens So
luton, who said if the people of
France have no bread to eat, let
them eat cake. We ignore all the
sign posts leading to the right
road, and parade down all the
pathways OF illusion. How buy
now?" Workers pay envelopes
well filled open the door to in
creased consumption. Initiate
purchase power first.

1t Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BRoUN=

NEW YORK, Oct. l0.-You ask
IN me why colunnists look gray
and haggard as they peer through
the windows of their limouSines?
You ask me why they toss about
upon their penthouse parapets? May
be nobody asked, but, even so, III
tell you. It's on account OF people
who send in manuscripts.
Here is a letter which came this
morning. all hot and bothered, with
extra stamps for special delivery:
In these days you will not be-
lieve that any one can have writ
ten book that is somehow crack
erjack, scintillating with crack
Drained humor but deadly serious
Notwithstanding that will hit
the bullseye-but I've done i'll .
And now. by thunder, can't get
any publisher to read page OF i'll
It's in nine parts, and will you take
my word for it that it is written in
your own kind of eerie. unusual
vein and you'll get a lot of chuckles
out of it?
Anyhow. I'm sending 1t to you
today by express, prepaid. value $40,
matter of third class, and when you
return it to me will you send it back
the same way, instead of valuing it
at thousand dollars, which it de-
serves but which increases the cost
of expressing damnably?
IF had asked you IL I might
send you the book you would have
said No They all say No. There
fore, I'm just sending it,
Not O. Publisher
IF can catch this novel on the
l. fly I'm going to bat it right back
at the young man. am interested
in good literature. 1t is possible
that a novel in nine parts might
still be magnificent. Young authors
and older ones should have ready
and sympathetic hearing. Genius
may be lurking just around the
corner. The man who comes with
the laundry may write the great
American play or novel. Perhaps
he already has.
But why pick on me? I'm not a
publisher I can't look through a
manuscript and say, This is better
than Balzac," and then, with wave
of my hand, have it Immediately
set between covers. If that power
were granted to me don't you
suppose you'd be hearing a great
deal more about THE Works of
Haywood Broun"? You know as we'll
as I do that there are none in
existence today. AS a matter of
fact, a couple of years ago found
it necessary to shoot them.
And so when manuscripts come
from budding authors or play
wrights 1 curse feebly and stick
the damn things in one drawer or
another. And there's the rub. After
one or two years the budding author
wants to know what think of his
novel. The best answer 1 can give
is that I think it isn't lost but only
mislaid.

HOUSE DELAYS
ON RELIEF BILL
No Move Made to Act on
Wagner'S Measure;
Passed Senate.

By Scripps-Ho,cdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. - With
only five working days of the ses-
sion left, the house has made no
move to act on the Wagner relief
bill passed by the senate Monday.
The bill is before the house COM
mittee on banking and currency.
It's chairman, Representative Henry
B. Steagall Dem, Ala, is non
committal about when action will
be taken.
Speaker John N. Garner, whose
support of any bill is sufficient to
bring it before the house for a vote,
likewise is noncommittal.
Members of congress interested in
the measure believe leaders are
waiting word from President Elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
If the bill is not enacted in this
congress, Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner may have better opportunity
to press it in the next one. He
may be chairman of the senate
banking and currency committee,
which has handled all legislation
concerned with the R. F. G.
Senators Duncan U. Fletcher and
Carter Glass both outrank him on
the committee, but Fletcher may
become chairman of the commerce
committee instead, and Glass will
have a choice between banking and
currency appropriations
The house banking and currency
committee meets today, and unless
it decides at that time to act on
the relief bill, there is little chance
for it this session.
