Membership Brings Woes

MEMBERSHIP in the club is likely to impose
1V1 considerable social and home-oice pressure
and considerable expense, too. The active member
is allowed to invite three guests to each Of the two
annual dinners and these occasions have become so
famous and difficult to crash that thousands of
Americans eat their hearts out and resort to every
possible influence to obtain invitations. Consequent
ly the member long ago lost any personal choice as
to whom he would invite to the Grdiron dinner,
which has become a roll-call of big shots" The
list is very similar to that of Tex Richards very best
people who always bad the first three rows at his
prize fights Many of the big shots survivors of
the late Flo ziegfeld's first night roster.
1t is presumed that the member in each case paid
for the tickets of his guests but the expense came
to from SIS to $25 per head under prohibition and
that three flavors of wine served, the price
per big shot is somewhat higher. A correspondent
making, say $3.50 a week, would have to shoot at
least one weeks salary and possibly two weeks pay
counting all expenses entertaining his three guests
at the two Gridiron dinners. You may imagine what
the little woman would say to that, in time when
some of the correspondents are compelled to take
from two TO four weeks vacation per year without
pay.

Old GHdirOn EUen Stricter

EXCLUSIVE it is nowadays, the Gridiron is
II about liberal the int national order of
barAies as compared with the original Gridiron.
The old Grdiron did not elect subcorreSpondentS.
This CUSTOM rule, rather riled the assistant cor
respondents who greatly outnumber the chiefs in the
Washington bureaus. They knew that in many cases
the assistants did the work for which the chief took
the bows. But the head correspondents stood off
and. on the occasions of their great ceremonial din
ners showered themselves with bouquets as persons
of unusual Importance in the national capital In
the natural course of things some of them became
lobbyists or we're fired and were succeeded by their
assistants who then became members of the Grid
iron themselves
But for many years it will be understood that
press association men, Hearst men and Jews
barred from membership. club has the right to
select its members without proclaimng its standards
of eligibility and the Gridiron did not have to an
nounce aversion to press association men, Hearst
men, or Jews. Such persons just did not happen to
occur among the membership list and any who
drew any conclusions from that fact had to be
SpOnsble for his conclusion
In recent years, however, three press association
men, including one Hearst man, and one Jew have
been elected. And, under the influence of an ele-
ment which I have heard described as the young
Turks" of the Gridiron, the requirement that man
be bureau head has been waived in at least one
instance.

crease the purchasing power of
the consumer by raising wages.
But those increases of wages are
eaten up by the higher price of
goods.
1t also has been trying to in
crease employment. But as it
has raised, the wages of those al
ready employed, and with them
the price of goods, it has on the
one hand made it more difficult
to sell, and on the other hand
more difficult to re-employ. The
business man has higher costs of
production and restricted volume
of sales as a result of the artifi-
cial and premature raising of
wages and industrial prices.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN'

MAY has been selected as Child Health day, so
AVA that every one interested in care of the child
and those who are not should be-nay give special
consideration to some of the problems involved in
afordng every youngster the opportunity to develop
into healthy and capable citizen.
When the White House conference on child health
and protection was called by former President Hoo
YER it drew up charter recognizing the rights Of
the child These rights include the considerations
that affect the child from the time of its conception
until it reaches adult age
Before birth every child is entitled to proper con-
sderation for it's mother Such consideration means
that the mother should have enough medical atten-
ton before the child is born, during its process Of
birth and after birth to enable her retain her
health and at the same time, to give to the child
the nourishment required for proper development.
TODAY it is no longer considered suitable for
Il mothers to be seen by their doctors just at
the moment of childbirth alone
The doctor watches the diet of the mother her
exercise and her rest during the entire period pre-
vious to childbirth He sees fit to it that she eats
foods which will help the body Of the child TO de-
velop sound bones and teeth
He makes certain that the process of childbirth
is conducted under sanitary and clean conditions
which avoid infection. He does everything possible
to shield the mother from pain and to conserve the
tissues of her body.
THEN after the child is born, the doctor advises
= the mother. if in any way possible to nurse
the baby herself He does this because he knows
that mothers milk is the best food for babies.
By her milk the mother gives to her child not
only the essential elements of nutrition but also in
visible protection from her own body against many
child is not equipped at birth.
This is the tenth anniversary of Child Health day.
In 1928 however, the congress of the United States
passed an act which made it official.
The act specifies that the United States flag shall
be prominently displayed on May l a reminder Of
the health protection that should be given to chill
dren and reminder of the duties that We owe
TO them as the citizens Of the future.

venting wrongs that they have
come very close to preventing
financial enterprise as we'll, and
have contributed greatly to keep
ing the capital market locked up
Yet, right alongside of these
measures the administration has
pursued monetary policy which
creates an enormous reservoir of
credit which it would very urgent
ly like to see used to revive in
dustry and employment.
Each one of these policies has a
plan, but they have no common
plan. If it was wise to raise agri-
cultural prices by imitation, sub
sides, and restriction of output it
was unwiSe to raise manufacture
ing prices at the same time.
If it is desirable to increase en-
ployment. as it obviously is, then
it is unwise to begin by increas-
ing the cost of employing more
men. If it is desirable to expand
credit. as it surely is, it it unwise
to block the channels through
which credit moves.

The Gridiron Club exists to
give two parties every winter
The parties are dinners at which
the President customarily is the
guest of honor. The dinners are
held in a big ballroom up under
the caves of an old hotel called
the New Willard. The ballroom
is served by four creaky, cable
type elevators. There are usu-
ally about four hundred at a
Gridiron dinner so that in case
of emergency each of the ele-
vators running on a ten-minute
schedule, with a capacity of ten
head, would take about one hour
and forty minutes to bring the

before the Democratic state con-
vention.
She wired to Washington to try
to get her name placed in the con-
gressional record as one who was
in favor of overriding the veto.
A very active member of the
committee on the District of Co.
lumbia, which oversees the local
government, Mrs. JenckeS is one
day at the district building be-
friending fireman who was fined
by his fire chief. (She got the SEN
tence reverSedD
The next day she is back again,
wheedling the board of architects
into specifying that Indiana lime
stone should be used in the con-
Struction of large bridge. Her
efforts-she insisted she was only
helping out Gene Grove" (con-
gresham from the limestone
district)-netted a million dol
lar order for the HooSier limestone
industry.
II
A MOTHER day, she is writing
L N the bureau of public roads,
demanding to know why Indiana
bricks can't be used on some of
the Indiana roads constructed
with federal money. Perhaps her
letter did not swing the deal.
Nevertheless, a few weeks later,
brick plants in the vicinity of
Terre Haute got contracts to sup
ply the material for fourteen miles
of roads.
When the farm credit admins
tration was set up, she got in
touch with President Roosevelt.
Two days later, the President, fol-
lowing her suggestion, issued
general proclamation to the coun-
try, calling upon mortgage COM
panies to stay all mortgage fore
closure proceedings until the FCA
had had an opportunity to pro-
vide relief to the debtor farmers.
Mrs. Jenckes is never stopped by
the impoSsibility of succeeding in
an undertaking. Examples of her
