Allan Taub, lid Lawyer,
To Establish Midwest
Bureau of New Masses.

ALLAN TAUB. LID. attorney,
n until recently assistant secrc-
tary Of the National Committee for
the Defense of Political Prisoners,
left New York yesterday on trail
blazing mission. He will establish
and be the director of the New
Masses mid Western Bureau, with
headquarters in Chicago, and cover
ing an area. from Cleveland to Mil
waukee. and down as far as
st. Louis.
Taub's specially is going to new
places and doing new things. AS
the LID. lawyer in the Scottsboro
case. he was the first to interview
the nine Negro boys after the light
ming frame-up. Last month he was
up in New England, working with
three delegations of writers who
entered the field to report the great
textile strike. In interviews with
Governors Ely of Massachusetts, and
Green of Rhode Island, Taub in
Cured the fury Of the two execu-
tives to such an extent that Ely
threatened to beat him up and
Green sicced the State Troopers on
him.
In the Kentucky miners strike Of
1881 he was arrested, run out of
town, kidnapped together with
Waldo Frank and beaten up.
Lynch mobs have looked for him
and the National Guard has been
modified to save him.
Taub, in short, has led busy,
varied and sometimes dangerous
life in the revolutionary movement.
Nevertheless he feels that the work
he is doing for the New Masses now
is the most important he has yet
undertaken.
Let Taub tell why:
THE United States has the largest
middle class of any capitalist
country. The ideas, the hopes and
ambitions Of many millions Of
Americans, derive, even today, from
the old notion that the Office boy
can become the head of the firm,
that every child is a potential
President, and that the thing to do
is to work hard, save, invest, profit,
save more, invest more, and always
get ahead, until you retire with a
small yacht, compact but we'll
trained staff of servants, a we'll
stocked cellar and endless leisure.
That was the big idea, the Amer
lean idea.
Conditions are proving to thu
middle class that they can't work
because there are no jobs, they can't
save because they haven't enough
to live on. that monopoly capital is
getting stronger under the New
Deal, while the small business man
is being squeezed out, and that the
old American idea of endless op-
portunity (Which never existed for
any but the few has disappeared
down the same abyss with the in
dated stocks of 1923.

That's a Cod damned uel" she
shrieked. Absolutely MOI I don't

interview with Hanfstaengl-"
Yes, I know" I said soothingly.
why, If you went to the German
Consulate they wouldn't even know

she asked quickly,
mo, I haven't. 1t wasn't neceS-

many you say you saw Hanfstaengl?
Didn't you also meet Goebbels, the
minister of propaganda"
Il met Goebbels in Geneva"
How did you get to him?"
Il didn't get to him. I just went
in during a press conference like I

You said you met Hanfstaengl

There's no why-people-there's

again.

claimed. she rose to her feet and
started pacing the small room He

His name does not matter"
But it does" I assured her.
Especially If he is man who at

was generally suspected of being a

She paused in her restless steps.
"What-what do you mean7"

Did Arthur tell you that?" she
demanded angrily. We'll, if you
want the whole story why don't you
say that I met Arthur Garfield

NO, Arthur did not tell me that.
Arthur, as a matter Of fact, defend

Wen, when I started my maya

meet Arthur Garfield Hays "
Mr.. Hays was in Berlin on the
Reichstag fire trial. You saw him
in Berlin at that timer"
Il am a friend Of his daughter.

Of my time with him"
Did you ever talk to him about
the Reichstag fire trial?"
"Why-what difference could
that make?"
Let us aSSume-mind you, I am
not saying you have anything to do
with it-but let us assume that
Arthur Garfield Hays, as one of the
attorneys for the defendants, nat
urally would know the plans Of
the defense. If a charming woman,
friend of his daughters, let us say,
whom he had no reason to distrust,
asked questions, she could learn a

Yes, but"
Did you discuss the Reichstag
fire trial with him?"

with anyone else. He explained all
that to me. Now regarding Mr..
Rumley. How did you meet him?"
oh" she rose from her chair
" with a quick motion.
All right. Did Mr., Rumley ever
okay printers bill for you when
you went into bankruptcy"
He never did!'
Very well, you are broke. You
have no income. When you went to
Washington last week you went di-
rect to the Hays Adams House?"
Yes"
That's an expensive place. Why
did you go there?"
Because it's a nice place"
That's a good reason I laughed.

THE INSIDIOUS CALORIES ARE ON YOU BEFORE YOU
 KNOW IT

When I recall the shock I suf- fered when my, as 1 fondly thought incipient bald spot was picked out of a large audience as shining example of bald head, can sympathize with the girls who discover all of sudden that they have grown fat. But their sorrow IS tempered with hope. Badness is comparatively sufficient cause for despair.
 The mistake thousands of girls r1ake when they perceive alas that they have put on many pounds or horrid supcrfluous flesh, is that they decide to reduce immediately. the quicker the better, they think. and plenty of merchants are glad to cater to that vain unreasonable hope. The fat did not come sud-
 denly: 1t can not be made to leave
 suddenly, without grave risk to
 health, to say nothing of good looks.
 Too rapid reduction is certain to leave more or less unsightly fiab- tiness if not actual wrinkles Whereas reduction that Is as grad ,ial as was the accumulation of the excess weight may be achieved without injury to health or appear ance, indeed with benefit to both Besides, rarely has any individual the grim determination necessary to stick to a severe reduction regi- men more than a day or two. But | most overweight adults can follow a sane, moderate reduction as may be advisable. By a sane, moderate

When a prisoner has long exist ed in solitary confinement in a dark cell, he can't see when he comes out into the light. If 1t lasts long enough me may be blind for ever. There are many such rec ords in history.
 By the same token, person can i develop mental blindness who shuts himself up in the fastness of his own hates, prejudices and obsessions. In time such a person reaches 0 pathological state where the sun of better things simply cannot get in.
 To keep on with the analogy, a man or woman can inmure him. self in work, or daily routine, un- til the feeling of responsibility en- gendered, slowly but surely edges everything else out of life. When this happens, one thing is certain. | Deterioration sets in. Efficiency is like ladder without props. It collapses of its own accord. Eff ciency Is merely ar abstract word made up of many things-mental content. spiritual peace, physica, well-being and nerve fibers strung to a happy tune.
 Al this sounds a bit ponderous, but 1t leads starlight to one thing Is the woman who lives her life in the house doing her routine work from sun to moon, going to be more efficient mother by linn iting herself to four walls? That is, will she continue long to be so Never to get out, or to exercise her vision? To keep her mental optic-nerves from turning in on themselves and eventually from shriveling? Is this the way to perfect herself in the business of motherohod?
 There are many young matrons | it is true, who must stay at home when the children are little. This period of sacrifice must be faced endured patiently and accepted as a matter of course.
 But these years pass with as- founding swiftness as one looks back, and then what?
 By the time she finds herself al least partially free, very likely habit has claimed her. She feel: that she can't get out.

 As Merry has not yet come into her share of the patent medicine millions amassed by her grand father, Dr Peter Fahrney, this was real obstacle.

 But not for long! Merry de- cided there was something she could do about the situation and what she did was to marry Frank Eiszner, whom she had known for years. The couple eloped to Au- rora, H., where, in the early morn- ming hours, the marriage took place.

 From childhood they have known every pleasure and luxury money can buy-yet both have added their names to the list of disillusioned spite brides.

 Almost immediately they left their husbands and now both are reported to yearn for legal free- dom.

One married a prince and found she didn't want him; the other wed to forget 8 titled suitor and discovered she couldn't. Penalized for Spite

 Tragedy touched young Mr and Mrs Eiszner almost within an hour of their wedding. Donald Eiszner, brother of the bridegroom, was in- jured fatally when the automobile crashed in which he and the bridal couple were riding. It was his death that brought revelation of the elopement.
 Friends couldn't believe the news. Only week before the 23- year-old Chicago heiress had been torn sobbing from the side of Count George 'di Giorgio. when i'm authorities packed him off on a boat bound for Chile.

"Spite Bride" Pays

Spite is an ugly word. It ands for an uglier emotion.
 One of the most disagree tble facts about the spite )ride's" plight from her point of view--is the fact hat she has no one to blame )ut herself. Spite brides invariably wake up to realize hat their angry action' ave made them much un- appier than they were.
 A sadder truth iS that ih. ariably another person - ometimes several innocent ,ersons - must suffer. too. hough they may be entirely yell-meaning and in no way csponsible.
 Unfair? Yes, but it's the 'ay things happen.
 Spite brides" deserve all hat is coming to them, be- ause spite is founded on nalice and malice means .rying to hurt someone else
 Sometimes these wilful .oung things spend their ives making similar mis- akes for. which others suffer he consequences. Sometimes one experience serves as q lesson.
 Even then the cost is too great.
