This Isn't 1929
1T will be argued hv 81

TT will be argued by some that La
l. Guardia met a crushing defeat
when he ran against Jimmy Walker
in 1929. But it must be remembered
that great deal of graft has flowed
under the bridge since then.
In 1929 New York wanted Solomon
in all his glory rather than Jere-
miah and his lamentations. I think
the city of New York ought to have
chance to make complete right
about-face in atoning for its stupid
ity in 1929
Some felt four years ago that GER
tain charges of La Guardia against
his opponent were wild and reckless.
But every prophecy and every ac-
cusation have, been proved. Surely
La Guardia has no reason to be
ashamed OF his part in the 1929 cam
paign. He can take up where he
left off.
And his candidacy should offer a
haven to prodigal sons, burnt chill
dren, and the suckers who never got
an even break

Naturally and quite logically a

Another of the exhibits is a
patient with elephantiasis of the

cipally in tropical countries.
An unusual parasite gets into the
channels which drain the lymph
from the body and causes thicken-

drainage of this material.
The patient at the exhibit is,
called "the man with the elephant

case of disease, rather than an
extraordinarily abnormal human

There can be no denial that many
women have been towards about
life. They have chung to their chill
dren and cluttered up their exist
ences with Uttered affections. But
that's no reason for abandoning all
sentiment, and hating all SoftneSs.
There is a safe middle ground for
which We must search. Careers,
ambitions must not be crushed on
either side. But as life goes on, we
learn we can not ever really be free
from certain human sponsipilities
and loves.
We can not say Il owe no duty to
another" For We DO, we always
will, and my guess is that We would
be even more unhappy than we are,
if We could extricate ourselves from
all such bonds.
Freedom is an alluring word, but
sometimes it echoes in a vast sur
rounding emptiness.

W. H. Richards writes: Let the
machines be owned by the people
collectively" Now as such things
as are produced by the individual
should be regarded as private prop
erty, how would he acquire the ma

pended in producing them has been
paid for at least in part and while
the labOrer has not been given the
full equivalent in many cases, how
will it be determined to what ex-
tent he has been taken adyan-
tage Of?
How shall we proceed to socialize
the machines? BY purchase or by
conf1scation? There is another ave-
nue. open by which the people can
get control Of the source of supply,
the land and all natural resources,
which naturally belong to all, and
that is to abolish all taxes on i'm
provements and all products of la
Dor, for these are all shifted to the
consumer, and concentrate all taxes
on the value of land and natural re-
sources, thus compelling such to be
put to use. This would open an I'M
limited demand for labor and solve
the problem of unemployment.
Capital is suffering today as well
as labor but while capital is
diminishing and receiving no return,

prived of its inherent right to sub

NNE of the exhibits at the Cen
Otury of Progress Exposition in
Chicago is a concession in which the
exhibitors have collected a remark
able series of cases of skin disease.
One of these exhibits includes two
cases of what skin specialists call
cults elastica. 1t is condition in
which the conceptive tissue of the
skin has disappeared due to con-
stitutional disorder, allowing the
skin to be exceedingly elastic so
that the victim easily may be called
an India rubber an"
1t is possible, in these cases, to
stretch the skin eight or ten inches
and then to let go of it so that it
flips back. In the cases shown,
however, the skin already has been
stretched SO often that it hangs
down in long folds.
There is also a case of ichthy-
osis, or so-called fish skin" disease.
The man exhibited has a skin

Another of the strange cases ex-
hibited is woman whose lips have
developed-so that they are exceed
ingly thickened, giving her face a
somewhat horse-hke appearance.
Especially interesting is case of
vitiligo, in which pigment dis
appears from the skin irregularly,

this disorder leopard-like appear

from the diseases exhibited some of

they usually are viewed.

est, because practically all Of the

A Woman's Viewpoint
by MRS. WALTER FERGUSON:

1t seems to me that all our activ-
tiles, even the most scientific, are
imbued with sentiment. And having
fought valiantly against the insid-
ious menace of sentimentality, still
am glad this is so-or that it
seems SO to me.
Without sentiment, even senti-
mentality, if you will. life would be
cruelty hard, too hard to bear. And
though We resent and deny the
charge, each of us cherishes a pet
emotionahSm to which We are
slaves. 1t often is difficult for us
to recognize these as such, because
We so easily can justify it in our
own minds.

Extremes never are normal
~ and generally bad. Therefore,
the fight waged by some members of
the younger generation against old
fashioned Sentimentality is fight
in a worthy cause, but when carried
beyond bounds it endangers its pur-
pose. Let me quote from & letter
written by young married woman
who has suffered and seen relatives
suffer from maternal possessiveness.
IF" she says, mothers are full
of tears and heavy love and they
talk too much about the proverbial
aching arms, the children reflect
that sentimentality and it only
makes the shocks that come later in
life harder to bear. And they have
to fight it so. for you know in the
material side of life there is no
room for sentiment"
No. do net go 50 far as that.

Study THE LOCAL
FIRE HAZARDS

During Fire Prevention week
the American public is instruct
ed concerning the hazlrds of
fire, and means of preventing
them, There is another phase
of the fire problem which should
be studied at the same time,
fire control and extinguishing.
It's better to prevent a fire
than to put one out. But we
will never reach hundred per
cent success in doing that. The
magnitude of our annual fire
loss is due largely to our own
failure to prepare to fight fire.
Departments are underman-
ed, and often work with insuffi-
cient or inferior apparatus.
Such conditions costs us mil
lions a year. They are reflect
ed in fire insurance costs, in
taxes, in business conditions, in
community development. Ev-
cry fire, no matter how small,
is the enemy of progress; every
fire represents a burden on
every citizen of the community.
Not enough of us interest our
selves in the local fire depart
ment. We consider it purely
in the province of local govern
ing authorities. And that is a
serious error. Progress is al
ways the result of popular de-
mand; change must be brought
about by the concerted action
of the taxpaying residents of
the community.
Learn something about fire
departments. Find out the
difference between standard and
non-standard apparatus, be-
tween engines that can be trust
ed to work efficiently all the
time, under the most adverse
conditions, and those whichmay
fail. 1t will mean money in
your pocket if you and your
neighbors do that and act on
your findings.

MRS. GREENWAY ON
WAY TO WASHINGTON

When Congresswoman Isa-
bella Greenway departed for
Washington Friday night she
took with her a unique present
for Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the
President. 1t was a copper
framed photograph of the COM
mittee of 90 hard-rock copper
miners, William Geany of Globe
chairman, who presented the
memorial asking for an embar-
90 on foreign copper to Mrs.
Roosevelt last June while she
was a guest of Mrs. Greenway
in her Tucson home. The cop
per came from the New Corne-
liza Mines of Ajo, which were
developed by General John c..
Greenway.
Geany arranged with Mrs.
Greenway to deliver the photo
graph direct to Mrs. Roosevelt
in person. He sent Mrs. Roose-
welt a letter signed by himself
and other members of the COM
mittee in which he said:
"Since presenting you with
the memorial in the patio of
Mrs. Greenway's home in Tue
son, conditions here in the Ari-
zona copper mines have rapidly
grown worse, and now a dismal
winter is just before us which
promises The hardships of both
cold and hunger because of our
long continued unemployment.
And Mrs. Roosevelt, these dis
tressing conditions must con-
tinue until our copper mines are
again put in operation. And
nothing but an embargo or a
high-protective tariff will make
it possible to open our copper
mines once more.
