Problem in Arithmetic

Problem In Arithmetic
Numerous inquiries received by
Tho Tribune regarding recent In
creases In the price Of bread indi-
cate the ACCESSIBILITY Of doing = SIM
pie problem in arithmetic.
It is not the purpose OF this news
paper to defend increases or de-
creases In the price Of anything. but
the factors In this case are rela-
lively simple.
In . statement Friday. Secretary
OF Agriculture Wallace fixed the Jus
titled boost In bread costs as re.
suit Of the wheat tax ct one and q
half cents pound. In other words,
the pound loaf which used to sell for
seven cents might now be properly
sold at eight and half.
Most OF the bread sold in this dis
trict Is In the form of one -and-a-
half.pound loaves. Applying the In
crease ut the rate of a cent and q
half . pound we find that the JUS
titled rise, according to the secre-
tary's figures, Is two and one quarter
cents. II the baker charges more
than that, ~tt'l assuming Wallace's
data arc correct, HI. is making = little
extra. II he holds the advance to
two cents tho customer Il getting q
slight break.
If the baker has q years supply
Of flour on hand he still must pay
the tax because 1t applied to floor
stocks" Of flour and flour in ware
houses on the date the levy became
effective.
Those bakers who bought flour
when 1t was lower In price than 1t is
now are In happier position than
those who have been buying only
enough to meet current requirements.
In this respect they are no different
from those citizens who have been
taking remunerative filters In the
wheat market.
All of these things have been
printed in this newspaper from time
to time as they developed. They are
assembled here now only in explana-
ton of this bread question"

Union Labor's Opportunity


Gen. Hugh s. Johnson's blunt
statement that 1t Is not the purpose
OF the industrial recovery act to
unionise all American labor empha-
sizes sharply the responsibility and
the opportunity which rests today
upon the leaders Of the American
Federation Of Labor.
Under the new law, as General
johnson points out. full unionization
Is possible. The government will see
to it that organized labor gets a
break. 1t won't permit big indus
trialists to compel their men to stay
unorganized. But 1t isn't going to do
any spoon-feeding.

SYMPATHY YOU WANT-YOU'RE
STILL A BLOOMING NEUROTIC


STILL A BLOOMING NEUROTIC
A lady who establishes her unas-
sailable status by informing me she
was patient Of the late DR.. Some
body nerve specialist who stood
high in his profession" rebukes me
thsu:
II know how to pity people who
have real nerve trouble, I think 1t
Is too bad to make such q general
attack as you do. It u un-
fair :"
When Dr.. Somebody lived and ran
his sanitarium business 1t was quite
the custom to diagnose nerves"
nervous prostration," 'neurasthenia"
or nervous breakdown" But not now.
Show me physician or q specialist
who dares to perpetuate such dag
nosts today. and I'll show you quack.
Not knowing whether the lady Is q
Class A or Class B neurotic cannot
attempt to SurmiSe what the nature
OF her ailment or complaint may be.
It. may be as real as any other disease
or illness can mention. But can
assert positively that real nerve trou.
BILE does not cause symptoms which
would suit neurotic. Patients i'll Of
actual nerve, spinal cord or brain
LESSONS are not at all nervous" IN the
popular sense.
Neurotics Of either class may pat
themselves on the back as much as
they like and chide hard boiled doc
tors who have no sympathy for such
impostors. They are still neurotics
for all OF that. Glass A II they are
just dumb and don't know enough to
60 to an honest, capable doctor and
find out what really Is the matter.
Class B II they are using nerves as
good alibi or means Of evading the
trials of life-shoving responsibilities
off onto the shoulders of others.
That's all there are, just Class A and
Class B neurotics. They're all fraid
cats. The AS are a lot too dumb to
realize that fear Is at thes bottom Of
all their nervousness" The BIS re-
sent the threat of exposure Of this
fear factor because they do realize
only too well that such exposure
means the end Of their imposture.
SO there we have it. I'm hard
boiled. unsympathetic, cruel, ignorant
and intolerable because I tell the
scientific truth about this nerve"
racket. Doctors who use NERVES" or
nervous breakdown" to conceal their
ignorance and incompetence and
string credulous customers along for
a while, are gentle, kind-hearted, wise
and eminent specialists.
These same fine birds who come to
the aid Of their paying patients with
q fake diagnosis Of nerves" or "nerv-
Gus exhaustion are of feather with
the doctors who pronounce the illness
Just q bad cold-until it turns out to
have been meningitis or pulmonary

CAPITOL. Albany, N. Y, Aug.
l. (UP). = Governor Lehman,
aroused by the abduction Of John
j. O'Connell, Jr., recommended to
an extraordinary session of New
York's legislature last night that
the penalty for kidnapping be in
creased to include death and that
payment of ransom be made 4
felony.
The governors drastic move
came as federal and state Off
cials sought the kidnapers OF
O'Connell, scion of the rulers OF
Albany's powerful Democratic pc,
litical empire. who was released
yesterday for $4,000 ransom, al
ter being held captive for 70
days.
Under the governors plan, the
death penalty would be left upon
the discretion of q jury, with I'M
prisonment from 20 years to life
as an alternative. The jury would
be empowered to impose the death
sentence only where the kidnapped
person had not been returned
alive prior to commencement OF
trial.

ministration asked newspapers to
aid in obtaining fair play for this
class of business men.

COTTON TAXES
EFFECTIVE
Processing Levy to Pay
Farmers May Also Hit
Rayon Output

WASHINGTON, Aug. l. (UP).
Every item used in American
life that is manufactured from cot
ton, from a spool Of thread to a
mattress became subject to tax
at the rate of AZ cents a pound
last midnight.
The proceeds, estimated to eX-
coed 20,000,000 year will go
to pay benefits to southern cot
ton farmers who now are blowing
up rs per cent of the crop which
they painstakingly planted last
spring.
The money will come from the
textile mills Of the country and
the jobbers, wholesalers and ware
houses who worked throughout the
night taking an inventory of the
cotton goods they have stored
away. Retailers must "lso pay the
tax on goods in their warehouses
but they need pay none on the
goods on their shelves until Aug
)31.
The income from which the
! farmers bounties will be paid is
expected to result in application
of only a small levy on the pur,
chases of the housewife. If retail.
ers pass on the tax at the actual
weight of the cotton goods they
sell. it is expected to make little
difference in the retail price.
A pair of overalls for the work
ling man, it is believed, should mo-
cost more than an additional II
