Roosevelt to Get Report on

Startling disclosures of how
District landlords have victim
lied impoverished Federal en-
ployes will be made in the
Labor Departments report on
living costs when it is sub
mitted next week to President
Roosevelt.
Landlords here, the report will
show, not only refused to lower
rents on low-cost residences at a
time when all other prices were
tumbling, but in an astonishing
number of cases actually boosted
rents.
Tenants at Their Mercy
They did this, one high official
explains, knowing that their
tenants, burdened- With. . Ii neI
cent salary cut, could not afford
! to move anywhere else except to
a shack or a tent" =
Had it not been for this, the
Labor Department believes, Fed
eral employees in the lower brack-
cts would have benefited materi-
ally from greatly reduced food
prices, since food, which fell more
than any other commodity, is a
large item on the budget of every
family in modest circumstances.
Many other facts concerning
living costs within the District
not before known will be re-
vealed in Miss Perkins report.
Federal employees in the upper
brackets, for example, did not
materially benefit from the slump
of prices between 1928 and 1888.
Savings Blocked
One reason was because food,
where substantial saving might
have been shown, constituted a
very small part of their entire
household expense. Little saving
could be effected in clothes,
either, for while low cost cloth

Senate Committee to Demand
Action as Result of Dis

By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON
Copyright. 1888, by international
News SerViCel

President Roosevelt has in.
dorsed the plan of Senate in
vestigators to propose Federal
control and supervision Of the
New York Stock Market and
all other exchanges, Interna-
tional News Service learned
today.
The President sent word to
the Senate Banking and Cur.
rency Committee, through Henry
Morgenthau, jr., acting Secretary
of the Treasury, urging it be
ready with banking and stock
reform legislation as soon as Con-
gress convenes January 3.
Morgenthau explained the
Presidents views to Senator
Fletcher D) of Florida, COM
mittee chairman.
Committee To Act
The President was reported to
favor the principle of Federal
regulation of stock exchanges in
order to protect the public against
manipulated values. This was
the decision, too, of the Senators,
who spent year investigating
market practices.
Fletcher announced the COM
mittee would recommend Federal
control and supervision of the
exchanges. He said he was not
ready to discuss the committees
probable recommendations for
banking reform.
The Senate committee plans to
urge Federal control and super.
vision as the only means of
preventing recurring losses to the
investment public under condi-
tions shown to have prevailed on
the stock exchange in the Cool
idge boom era.
Tax Power as Means
This would be achieved under

police powers. Supervision would
be maintained under the Gov.
ernment's power to regulate the
use of the mails.
Legal authority for exercising
it's powers in this fashion has
been found, including a brief by
Supreme Court Justice Louis D.
Brandeis. written before he was
named to the nations highest
tribunal.
Tax Plan to House
LEGISLATION will be asked Of
Congress as soon as it reconvenes
in January. The taxing fea-
lures will be handled by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee, because tax legislation
must be initiated in the House
under the Constitution.
The regulatory provisions, based
upon use of the mails, will be

Tightening Patent Medicine Laws
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

Perfumed axle grease as q remedy for
influenza and horsetail weed as q cure
for diabetes are not condemned by the
Federal Food and Drug Administration
without thorough investigation and the
testimony Of competent medical prac-
titioners. Yet because Of certain cum
bersome provisions Of existing law the
Federal Government is making renewed
efforts to strengthen the statutes. DR..
control, is strongly backing the efforts
Of Senator Copeland Of New York, him.
self physician, to get the law amended
at the forthcoming session of Congress
in the interests Of better protection for
the American people against nostrums.
The United States has been tradition
ally a sort of happy hunting ground
for the patent medicine man. Not q
little of the glamour Of early days In
America was furnished by the adven-
turer who toured the country in a
donkey cart, usually dressed in Prince
Albert coat with buttons made from
$40 gold pieces and who not infre-
quently was accompanied by an Indian
chief, Negro nanny, and, If prosper
GUS, by at least section Of a brass
band. No county fair was complete
without at least one such figure.
There is no doubt that the Indians
did discover vegetable growths having
medicinal properties which they were
able to distill into potent medicines.
Not a few of the Negroes brought with
them from Africa a store Of knowledge
concerning herbs and simpleS. With so
large a proportion of the American
population born and bred under the
influence Of the Western Indians or the
Southern Negroes 1t is not surprising
that there Is in the American mind a
lingering, inherited faith In the potency
Of natural medicines.
A shortening Of the professional
patent medicine man, however, has been
a tendency to everyday his hand to
make too large claims for his product
and even to go the whole length of COM
pletely taking it, selling something with
out even the benefit of aboriginal adj
vice. The medicines which, it has been
claimed, would cure anything from a
toothache to housemaid's knee, were less
sovereign than the eloquent orator
statesmen said they were. Therein, the
Government finally declared, lay q
fraud. So followed the Federal pure
food and drug legislation-but 1t did not
follow until Americans had had a couple
of centuries of experience with the ma
tive noStrums.
Technical Difficulties.
The practice now is for the Federal
Government to subject any new patent
medicine which appears to chemical
analysis. This reveals its composition.
The experts of the drug control office
are well versed in what is known to be
an effective and safe treatment. If
analysis reveals, as not infrequently,
that a concoction is, perhaps, nothing
more than dissolved sawdust and mo-
lasses with something bitter added to
give it a medicinal taste, correspondence
is entered into with the medical pro-
fession. Personal interviews supple
ment voluminous correspondence, the
purpose being solicitation Of opinion as
to whether the medicine under review is,
as claimed, an effective and safe remedy
for the ailments It Is presumed to re-

give him, and along with this the in
heritance Of great wealth. Talking with
him one day as we reminisced over the
days Of our young manhood, he said to
me: Il have never spoken to you be-
fore about my spiritual nature or, in
deed, my spiritual poverty. As you
know, became member of the church
in my late boyhood, and suppose that
at that time was perfectly consistent
In accepting obligations that were nor
NAL to my life and training. That was
thirty-six years ago. Gradually and by
slow processes and by reason Of selfish
Indifference and apathy have ignored
the obligations I sincerely accepted as
a lad. Prayer and the devotional life
have long since abandoned. I now
find myself in the maturity OF man
hood, spiritually impoverished and
seemingly incapable Of recovering what
I have lost"
His recital was one of the saddest
have ever heard. It was the case OF
one who through the many years twist
not that the Lord was departed from
him" He had cut off every avenue OF
approach to his soul. Many cares, con-
fidence in his riches and the pursuit
of pleasure had left him. when he
needed 1t most, seemingly barren and
unfruitful. He had starved his soul
and in the hour of his mental anguish
fully realized the Incompatible value
of that which he had sacrificed. His
frank confession coming at a great
crisis in his life, coupled with his deep
penitence and desire to return to ways
Of peace and serenity of mind, brought
him at length that which he sorely
needed. Some one has well said that
our age is lin search of reality" and
that feverishly and with unsatished de-
sire 1t pursues Its mad qreSt. To crafty
the physical. to accumulate material
things, to gain prosperity and to renew
ways of ease and indulgence-these
occupy a conspicuous place in our mod
ern thought Scant consideration is
being given to those evidences Of divine
leadership thai have characterized the
life of our Nation in other days. Ex-
press 1t as we may, the consistent
recognition of God in human affairs
and in the affairs of our individual life
Is an indispensable requisite to higher
thinking and nobler living. The an
cient query persists: What shall 1t
profit a man If he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul?"

HE visit not that the Lord was de-
parted from him"
1t is possible to lose out Of ones
consciousness the sense of Gods pres
ence in life. Individuals and peoples
alike come to a stage where they have
no realization of divine guidance. 1t
is a tragic situation, and one that
results in a sense of lost confidence
and power.
The story from which the above pas
sage is taken concerns a man of great
strength. Samson by name, whose
mighty feats are told in the Book of
Judges. In the early years of his life
he had proved himself great leader
and, gifted with extraordinary strength,
he became the valorous champion Of
his people. In the days of his humility
end dependence upon God he exercised
is rare powers for the benefit of his
nation. At length Cos dependence gave
place to self-dependence, and along
with this came inevitable Indulgence in
sin. He became the prey of his own
licentious desires, believing the while
that his great gifts could suffer no i'm
pairment. Arising from refreshing
slumbers. he said: IT will go out at
other times before little thinking that
both his strength and proves we're
gone. The tragic statement is added:
He visit not that the Lord was de-
parted from him."
This ancient tale has its modern
counterparts. When Christ described
the hindrances that impair and destroy
spiritual development He spoke Of the
cares Of this world and the deceitful-
ness of riches" as choking and render
ing unfruitful spiritual growth.
A man WHO had made distinguished
place for himself in the commercial
world and had accumulated large
wealth remarked sadly 20 me when I
asked him concerning the satisfaction
h found in the cultivation of his spirit
ual nature Il have been SO busy all
these years accommodating fortune that
have had no time to give considera-
ton to the things that refine and en-
rich the inner man" The cares Of this
world and the deceitfulness of riches had
been the hindrances of his life.
Another incident of like significance
that came under my observation con-
Germs one whom I had known for many
years. He had been born to refinement
and culture. He had had every advan-
tage that school and university could
